JENSEN BEACH — Police are in search of a man they are calling a "modern day Hamburglar," who is believed to have broken into Wendy's, turned on the stove, cooked himself a burger and then stole the safe.

Martin County Sheriff's officials say the man broke into a downtown Jensen Beach restaurant, where he did the same. Police say he attempted to rob a gas station, but could not get inside.

At the Wendy's on Jensen Beach Blvd., police said the man used a brick to smash in a door, then turned on the grill to cook a meal, before leaving with the safe.

Officials describe the man as being in his mid-30s, about 6 feet tall and with a distinctive tattoo on his upper left arm. At the time, he was wearing a baseball cap, black tank top and khaki shorts.
