BURGLARS STRIKE VETERINARY OFFICE TWICE
A Dallas veterinarian office hopes surveillance video helps track the burglars who hit the place once then came back for more.
Security video outside City Vet on McKinney Avenue shows the suspects breaking the glass and entering the building, then coming out with electronics.
