A sales manager at Causeway told the Patch today that since monies in the safe are typically deposited at the end of each day, the money stolen was probably around $1,000 or less. He added that the windows that were smashed are going to cost about that much to replace.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Stafford Township Police Department at 609-597-8581.
