Fuzzy's Pizza in Katy robbed, suspects broke in through wall next door

HOUSTON - Fuzzy's Pizza Katy became the victim of a burglary on Thursday evening.

The owner, Jeff Hajjar, says the suspects broke in through a wall from next door and robbed the restaurant at 613 S Mason Road, north of Cinco Ranch.

Despite the break-in, the business will be open for business on Friday.

"This incident has undoubtedly left a bitter taste, not just for us, but for our beloved community as well," Jeff said. "But, in the face of adversity, we have chosen to rise and continue serving our community, standing tall against this act of violation."

The three men wearing hoodies and masks were on a mission. It appears they were motivated by more than just money.

"It was very intricate how they got in," Hajjar said. "They used a crowbar to pry open the back door for the next-door space, because it's vacant."

The trio of thieves busted a hole out in the storage room wall.

"It's absolutely mind-blowing," said Hajjar. "They literally cut a hole in our safe with a buzzsaw, and they knew exactly where to cut, which is honestly beyond me."

A customer wouldn't even know it was a safe. That has the owner wondering if a former disgruntled employee could be involved.

"I could see it, we are going through the lists," Hajjar said.

In addition to taking all the cash, the thieves ransacked the place. They even destroyed a sink.

"When I first saw it, I was really disheartened," the owner said.

The restaurant has hosted many Republican candidates, including Governor Greg Abbott.

There's seems to be anger behind the burglary in addition to stealing money.

"I think they were trying to send a message," said Hajjar said. "They were unhappy with something we were doing. Part of me feels it's probably political."

The thieves also stole the owner's gun.

"I have a strong faith in God," Hajjar said. "He will protect us."

The business is getting the wall fixed and working with Harris County authorities to investigate the incident.
