Robber drives car into window for beer - can't reach it!

Surveillance footage shows Dr Joseph Grillo breaking the doors of Country Liquors in Seekonk. He then climbs out and walks up to the gap he’s created between the door and the window and attempts to grab a bottle of beer from inside.

However, it's too far away, so he backs up and drives off.

Manager John Wayland explained that the attempted theft caused a lot of damage.

‘The whole store front has to be replaced, so we’re talking tens of thousands,’ he said.

However, despite the enormous cost of the repairs, Mr Wayland opted to look on the bright side of the crime.

He said: ‘Word must be getting out about our wide selection of inventory that people are willing to come at all hours and break down the doors to try and obtain it.’

The positive-minded boss even posted a note in the window that read: ‘Apparently, someone thought we had a drive-thru!! In the future, please just call.’

Unfortunately for Dr Grillo, a nearby police officer heard the crash and arrested him shortly after he took off.

He was charged with drink driving.
