Several local restaurant owners are cleaning up Thursday morning after a series of late-night smash-and-grabs.

The owners of Cousin’s Restaurant on Dawson Road arrived at the establishment at about 6 a.m., only to find their front doors smashed in and the cash register destroyed on the floor.

They weren't alone. 

Police also responded to similar break-ins at A.J.'s Trading Post on Highway 61 and the Pita Pit on Red River Road. In both cases the front doors were smashed and the cash registers taken. 

Thunder Bay Police are continuing their investigation.
