Caught on Camera: Brewer Restaurant Hunts Purse Thief

You're busted!

Usually when you hear about these types of stories, it revolves around a "Dine & Dash", where you visit an establishment for a nice meal, or maybe a few drinks, then dart out before the check comes, but this time around, its someone taking personal property from someone else, that doesn't belong to them.

Our friends and neighbors at Kosta's Restaurant & Bar in Brewer (I highly recommend their Mac & Cheese, and Chicken Parm), posted a video late last night of a woman who decided to go behind the bar, into the servers area, and snag a purse. Not cool!

Thankfully, their surveillance cameras caught all of it, and the suspects fled on foot, so check out the video, and you have any details on the identity of this person, or her accomplice, you can contact Kosta's at (207) 989-8811

As you can imagine, regular patrons of the restaurant had a few concerns and comments on the Facebook post:

Sheila White
She looked like she knew where to go

RE Philbrick
Hope you find out who it is. Band from the bar forever.

Shared to the Bangor Area Scanner Page.. hope it helps

This is not an uncommon occurrence sadly.

A couple of years ago, our friends at High Tide in Brewer, uploaded a video of some interesting security camera footage to their Facebook page, of a woman allegedly skipping out on her tab in a rather sneaky way.

It appears to be near closing time on the outdoor deck at the restaurant, because everyone has pretty much cleared out, so the woman in the video, who conveniently has a table right by the railing, carefully glances to her left, then carefully glances to her right, to make sure the coast is clear, she grabs what appears to be a take out box, then she gets up, plants her butt up on the deck railing, and slides on out into the night without paying her tab.

There is a simple lesson to be learned here...always pay your bill, tip your severs well, and don't take what doesn't belong to you!
