Outdoor dining structure have become easy pickings for area criminals.
Two thieves filched the heater from the corral outside La Contenta on Norfolk Street last Monday (December 29), the restaurant manager tells us. We’re told that the pair staked out the scene at around 8:30am, then returned an hour later for the goods.
However, the cleaning guy was there at the time and allegedly tried to stop them. He was assaulted, before both fled. The victim is okay.
