NORWICH – The burglar who broke into Bill’s Diner early Saturday morning made off with an empty register and four felony charges for his efforts.

Jeremy A. Squires, 36, of New Berlin, was taken into custody by the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office Sunday following an investigation into the incident, which took place at approximately 2:53 a.m. Saturday.

According to Lt. Richard Cobb, Squires kicked in the eating establishment’s glass door and stole the cash register. His actions were captured on video surveillance equipment, which helped identify him as the culprit.

Police were also able to link Squires to another burglary which took place in May of 2009. On that occasion, Cobb said the New Berlin man also forced his way into a restaurant after hours and stole the cash register, that time at Mary’s On The Corner. He is believed to have made off with approximately $130 in cash.
