Burglars steal cash from safe at Ninfa's restaurant

HOUSTON – The original Ninfa's restaurant on Navigation was burglarized early Wednesday morning.

According to Houston police, officers received a call about the incident at 2704 Navigation around 8 a.m.

Police said the safe was broken into and things were stolen from the iconic Houston restaurant.

"About 4 in the morning somebody broke in, knew exactly how to turn off all the alarms, stole some money and did some vandalization," said Joe Abusa, Ninfa's director of operations.

The restaurant says they don't know how it happened and asked Local 2 not to show video of where the break-in was. The restaurant says the damage won't stop them from serving.
