It was business as usual for customers at the Schroeder Baking Company on Saturday, October 4, despite the fact that the bakery had been broken into some time during the night. Customers enjoyed coffee and baked goods, unaware that the owner’s day had started with the discovery of a shattered pane of glass on the entry door. The only evidence of a problem was one window panel covered with cardboard. Owner Kathy Lawrence called Cook County Law Enforcement at 5:59 a.m. reporting that it appeared as though someone had tried to break in. One pane of glass in the door was shattered. Deputy Pat Eliasen arrived and found that the door had apparently been smashed with a rock. Money was taken from the till and from a pop machine inside the building.

The incident is being investigated and anyone who may have information on the burglary is asked to contact Cook County Law Enforcement at (218) 387-3030.
