"The cop noticed that they used a butter knife to get through the door," Soliday said.
According to the criminal complaint, the owner of the store said that Crosby had been frequenting the upstairs apartment and had been loitering in the back of the shop for several hours before the robbery.
According to police, Crosby stole about $960 worth of items and cash from the pet store, which now has plywood and chicken wire on the front door.
