Two men worked together to distract employees at a Dallas restaurant and stole more than $2,000 from the safe, police said.
It happened about 10:30 a.m. on April 2, at the Blue Goose Cantina on the 2900 block of Greenville Avenue.
One man kept employees busy by offering them free coffee, while an another man sneaked into the office and stole cash from the safe, according to police.
The man, who broke into the safe, went in and out of the back door without anyone noticing.
The office door was locked, but the thief managed to break in, manager Josh Johnson said.
"I don't think he picked it,” Johnson said. “I think he jammed a knife in there or something and wiggled it. That's why I've been locking the dead bolt."
He stole approximately $2,400.
