Burglars have done some bold things to get what they want, and this incident in Vancouver, Washington is no different. KATU reported Thursday (September 30) that a suspect was caught on camera digging his way through a wall and a shelf of containers to break into a store. You can watch the video here.

Reporters say the incident happened at the Mommy & Me Resale near 123rd Avenue and Mill Plain Boulevard. Emilee Butler, the owner of the business, reportedly found two holes in the walls Monday morning (September 27).

“It kinda feels violating to have somebody break into the space that's like your home,” she told reporters. “You’re here almost more than you are at home, so it is a very hard situation."

The burglar allegedly came back a few hours later to disable the cameras, Butler claims. Money and the shop phone were reportedly stolen from the business.

She's working with the police to find the suspect.

A Tennessee woman was hiding in her home as a burglar took a shower. A man was caught on camera breaking into a South Florida home but also getting really comfortable once inside.
