Attempted break-in at The Globe’s office
According to Point Park Chief of Police Jeffrey Besong, an unidentified man turned onto Wood Street from Fort Pitt Boulevard and pulled on the emergency exit near WPPJ’s streaming studio on Feb. 28 at 1:39 a.m.
When he could not get in, the man walked toward the entrance of Conestoga Hall’s suites at 1:41 a.m. and pulled on that door as well. Once that attempt failed, he ran to the Mon Wharf parking ramp and kicked the “lot closed” sign over.
At 1:43 a.m., he ran back to the emergency exit door and began punching and kicking the door, breaking the glass. Point Park police are working to identify the man via surveillance footage.
