JACKSONVILLE, Fla. <\/strong> \u2013 Surveillance footage recently captured a man breaking into a Thai restaurant in Jacksonville\u2019s Riverside neighborhood, part of a series of break-ins that have alarmed local business owners.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement has connected 68-year-old Arthur Virgil III to 10 burglary charges, along with two charges related to burglary tools and driving without a license, according to jail and court records.<\/p>\n

News4JAX\u2019s Jenese Harris has been following the story for weeks after speaking with business owners frustrated by the recent crime spree. Initially, police believed there were three to five burglaries, but the number has since doubled.<\/p>\n

The break-in at Pattaya Thai Jax<\/a> involved the suspect smashing a glass door and stealing cash from the restaurant\u2019s register. Surveillance video shows the man using a cinder block to break through the front door around 3 a.m. on October 13.<\/p>\n

Multiple businesses in Jacksonville\u2019s 5 Points neighborhood have also been targeted. <\/p>\n
