‘Calm and collected’ thief steals $2,000 worth of wine, beer from Wicked Hen restaurant

The farm-to-table Midtown restaurant Wicked Hen was robbed of thousands of dollars worth of food supplies Sunday morning, its owner said.

Surveillance video shows a bald male with a mustache entering the freezer area while carrying bolt cutters.

Bryant Walker, the owner, said that the man took about $2000 in wine, beer and food. Walker thinks the man had planned the heist for some time.

“You can see how calm and collected he is. There is no sense of urgency. It seems like he’s been casing the joint, he knew nobody would be around.”

Walker expects to have more information later after surveillance videos from the shopping complex are checked.

Susan Walker, Bryant’s wife and another owner, posted surveillance video to Facebook and asked people to be on the lookout for the man.

“He has a lot of alcohol to sell off... so he might be hanging around bars,” she wrote.
