Investigators have determined the suspect breaks into the tasting room and takes a small amount of money from the cash register. It's estimated the total loss from all the burglaries amounts to a few thousand dollars. No other items are taken and there is no evidence of vandalism.
The incidents have been random in nature, occurring in different areas on different days. But because of the similarities of the crimes, investigators believe at this time, it may be the work of one person.
