Boloco posts surveillance video to Facebook page after robbery

Boston – Boloco Inspired Burritos reaches out to its social media network to help catch three robbers caught on video surveillance. They are asking for local community support and offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the three men.

On Monday, January 30, 2012, local restaurant group, Boloco (Boston Local Company) Inspired Burritos, released video surveillance from a robbery at their Berklee location. After uploading surveillance footage to YouTube, Boloco added some eerie background music and posted the video on social media sites, including their Facebook page and Twitter.

Boloco company representatives say that three men broke in to the Boloco Berklee location on Boylston Street less than half an hour after it closed. The thieves were caught on surveillance camera as they entered the restaurant and walked out with a safe deposit box. Boloco added to their Facebook status:

“We debated about whether to share this or not – traditionally this isn’t something that is “shared”… but it’s 2012… and we think everyone needs to see what is happening out there, and work together to reduce and one day eliminate evil people like these three. “

The surveillance video shows the three men outside the door, appearing to look for a way to pry it open. One of the robbers is seen trying to hit the camera with a sledgehammer prior to entering the restaurant. The three men proceeded straight to the back room, took the safe deposit box and walked out.
Boloco’s attempt to spread the word and rally support may have paid off. Boloco announced Sunday that they may have a winner for $1,000 cash prize based on tip, but are holding off until an arrest has been made. Boloco fans continue to show their support in person and through social media.
