Louie’s Ice Cream Robbed
The Labor Day weekend brought more crime to Walkersville when Louie’s Ice Cream was robbed. Louie Hani, owner of Royal Chicken and Louie’s Ice Cream, said he found the crime had occured when he returned to town from Charlestown, West Virginia.
The criminals broke into the trailer which houses Louie’s ice cream business. They damaged some of the trailer and the sno-cone machine. Unable to open the cash drawer on his register, the criminals stole the entire cash register. The register contained hundreds of dollars.
Louie contacted Maryland State Police, and they are investigating.
One of the neighbors witnessed the suspects carrying the cash register down the street around 1:30 a.m. Another neighbor has provided Louie and Maryland State Police with video surveillance from their home’s security cameras.
Louie said the witnesses and videos have helped them identify suspects. He is waiting to hear back from police.
Louie has owned and operated Royal Chicken and his ice cream trailer for years in Walkersville. He and his family moved to Walkersville in 2011. Louie said he was disappointed in the situation. “Before I moved to Walkersville, I never locked my doors. In the first month we lived here, someone broke into our cars and stole money and expensive hockey gear out of the cars,” he recounted.
“I just hope those responsible will pay for the damage,” he said. “I don’t want my insurance to go up,” he worried.
