The Sweet Heist: Grand Blanc Township Police Hunt for 'Cinnamon Roll Bandit'

Well, folks, it seems we've got a rather sticky situation unfolding in Grand Blanc Township, one that's certainly got the local police scratching their heads. You see, a new kind of criminal has emerged from the shadows, and they've been given a rather fitting, if slightly whimsical, moniker: the 'Cinnamon Roll Bandit.' Yes, you heard that right – we're talking about a sweet-toothed perpetrator.

This pastry-pilfering incident went down recently, in the quiet, early morning hours. Imagine, if you will, the peaceful darkness, just before dawn, suddenly broken by an unexpected culinary caper. Around 4:30 a.m. on November 13th, the alarm bells — or perhaps, the scent of impending theft — went off at the Cottage Inn Pizza located at 12850 Fenton Road. It’s not your typical smash-and-grab, not when the primary target appears to be baked goods!

According to reports from the Grand Blanc Township Police Department, the suspect, an unidentified individual at this point, wasn't just after a quick snack. Oh no. This was a more ambitious operation. They reportedly swiped a substantial quantity of fresh, delicious cinnamon rolls. We’re not talking about one or two for a midnight craving; this was a haul! And as if that weren't enough, there's also the very real possibility that a cash register was taken as well, adding a financial sting to this rather bizarre bakery break-in.

Police are, understandably, quite keen to get to the bottom of this. They've since released images of the person believed to be involved, captured by surveillance cameras. These aren't the clearest shots, as often happens in low light, but they're hoping someone out there recognizes this individual. It’s a bold move, breaking into an establishment primarily for baked goods, and it suggests either an incredibly intense craving or perhaps a planned redistribution of sweet treats – though we can only speculate, of course.

If you happen to have seen anything suspicious around that time or if you recognize the person in the images released by the police, please don't hesitate to reach out. Every little bit of information helps, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem. You can contact Detective Holbrook at 810-424-2611. Let's help the Grand Blanc Township Police put an end to this sugary crime spree and perhaps, just perhaps, recover those beloved cinnamon rolls. After all, a community's peace of mind, and its pastries, are at stake!
