Three business burglaries reported over the weekend were similar and could be related to earlier burglaries this year, police say.

Burglaries were reported at Cafeteria Don’L, Skyline Mall; Interstate Meats, Myers Road; and an apartment-building office on William Street.

In all the incidents, someone kicked in an outside door and stole $50 to $100 in operating change, said Albert Lea Police Assistant Chief Dwaine Winkels.

&uot;These businesses don’t deal in cash,&uot; Winkels said. &uot;What they’re doing is they’re taking office change.&uot;

&uot;They just open up the desks and drawers looking for cash boxes,&uot; he said.
