RAINSVILLE, Ala. — On June 15, after closing for the night, Kelly's Kitchen in Rainsville was broken into through the back entrance.

After both cash registers were damaged, an undisclosed amount of money and a firearm were taken.

After over three-and-a-half years of business, Kelly McCurdy Lawrence (owner of Kelly's Kitchen) reported that this was the first incident to occur since she began her restaurant.

"I'm angry that someone would do this," said Lawrence. "I guess I'm just too trusting." A new security alarm system has just been ordered for the company.

Since this is an open investigation, the Rainsville Police Department said that they could not comment at this time.

Lawrence is offering $1,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the people involved. If you have any information regarding the break-in, please contact Kelly at (256) 638-2880 or the Rainsville Police Department at (256) 638-2157.
