Police search for suspects in SLO County taqueria burglary

Atascadero police are searching for the suspects who broke into and burglarized a local taqueria on Monday morning.

Just before 7:30 a.m. Monday, officers responded to a report of a just-discovered burglary at La Parilla Mexican Grill in the 7100 block of El Camino Real, the Atascadero Police Department said in a news release Tuesday.

Officers found evidence that one or more suspects forced their way into the restaurant through a rear door, and stole an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

An investigation into the incident was ongoing Tuesday, Atascadero police said.
