Hopkinsville movie theater broken into

Someone broke into the Carmike Movie Theater in Hopkinsville late Monday night or Tuesday morning in an apparent attempt to break into a safe.

The report from Hopkinsville Police says employees of the theater behind Bradford Square Mall found that someone had pried open an auditorium door to get in the building.

The perpetrator then pried or kicked in an office door to get to a safe containing cash, but was not able to get it open. Justin Settle of the theater told police there had been previous burglaries at the building and damage done in those instances.                                                    **
