A burglar crawled on his belly inside a South Dunedin grocery store to prevent detection by sensor alarms before stealing thousands of dollars from a safe. The burglar, clad in dark clothing and a beanie, entered the Grocery King store, in King Edward St, by removing a glass pane from a rear door about 2am yesterday. The store's staff were left shaken by the brazen theft of a week's worth of takings, more than $10,000. CCTV cameras and motion detectors were operating in the store and the burglar appeared to know its layout and security measures. She and trainee staff member Connie Tapuni arrived at the store about 6.30am to open up and discovered the ruined safe on the floor of the staff room.
