'Gorilla' repeatedly dumps sand at pizzeria

By Alan Burdziak

SOUTHGATE — Someone in a gorilla suit went into Little Caesars Pizza, 13248 Eureka Road, at about 11 p.m. Nov. 25, emptied a bag of sand on the floor and ran away.

An employee told police he saw the person in the suit get into a dark blue Chevy Cobalt with a white man at the wheel and speed away.

The employee told police a gorilla-suited person has done this numerous times and has also done it at another Little Caesars in Lincoln Park.

The “gorilla” is described as 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall.

Two 50-pound bags of sand were stolen off a pallet behind ACO Hardware, 14441 Eureka Road, at about 10 p.m. Police found an empty bag of the same sand in the alley behind Little Caesars.

A witness at ACO told police he saw two white men in a dark blue Cobalt put two bags of sand in the trunk and drive away.
