Tennessee police are searching for a brazen burglar who rappelled down into a bowling alley business early Sunday and stole around $1,500 in cash.
Police said the bowling bandit cut a large hole in the roof of Lanes Trains and Automobiles in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and rappelled down a rope to get inside. The burglary also cut a hole through some drywall, police said.

The burglar was caught on surveillance footage carrying a hammer and prying tool just before 3 a.m. Sunday.
The footage shows the burglar prying open a cash register that didn’t contain any money. But the burglar did break into an ATM and a game card recharging machine, stealing around $1,500.
