Police Reports: Frances Bakery Burglarized

Police responded to the report of a burglary Frances Bakery & Deli, 506 Main St., Thursday morning. Just three days after the firefighters put out a basement fire in the building.

Police said someone entered the bakery from a back door and broke granite counter tops and smashed glass display cases, before making off with equipment and money from the cash register.

The burglary took place sometime overnight. Police had no estimated value for the damaged and stolen equipment.

On Monday night, a patron eating dinner at Roberto's Restaurant called police at 7:20 after seeing smoke at Frances Bakery & Deli, across Main Street. Then an officer reported seeing heavy smoke coming from the roof-line of the building, according to Fire Marshal Bill Davin's account.

Davin said preliminary results point to the cause being accidental.

Gilberto and Anabela Henriques of Huntington, who own another bakery in Trumbull, first opened the Monroe location in January.

Bank prevents fraud

A Monroe woman told police Tuesday that someone had tried to access her People's United Bank account online.

On Monday morning, someone tried to access her account eight times in a matter of two minutes without success. The bank locked the account as part of a security feature, and notified its customer of the attempted breach.

Monroe is conducting a computer forensics investigation.

Capt. Michael Flick said people should call the police department when incidents like this happen to them.

"Always protect your personal and banking information," he said.
