Within the past two weeks, at least three businesses in East Sacramento along Folsom Boulevard were targeted by possibly the same two people, police said Monday."We’re looking into (the incidents) possibly being related," said Sgt. Michele Gigante, a spokeswoman for the Sacramento Police Department. "Somebody would had to have seen something. They were through the night and early-morning hours. So, if anybody has any information, let us know."Watch report: At least 3 East Sacramento businesses targeted in burglariesOne of the businesses was hit twice."Money -- money, that’s basically what they were looking for," said Richard Perez, from Three Sisters Restaurant. "The first time, they pried the back door open. The second time, they threw a brick through the window."On the surveillance video at the restaurant, two people are seen clearly, trying to open the cash register before stealing the whole thing.Perez will add more security devices to his restaurant, he said.Across the street in a small shopping center, Incredible Pets was broken into last week, too."They cut a hole in the glass door and came into the building," said Chris Dauria, a manager at the store. "They took our cash registers, took a couple of crates, went to the office and then rampaged through the store."Dauria and Perez lost thousands of dollars. They also had hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in damages, to clean up."We lost a lot," Dauria said. "We lost all the cash. We’re a family owned business, so it is frustrating when we take a hit like that."Just down Folsom Boulevard a few blocks, Giovanni's Pizzeria had its restaurant damaged, as well.The burglars tried to pry a side door open and threw a large rock at a glass door, too.That wasn’t enough to get inside. The alarm went off and scared off the burglars, according to the manager.
