Alcohol, money stolen during break-in at newly opened Baltimore burger restaurant

A new restaurant in Baltimore was broken into nearly a week after it opened in the Canton neighborhood. 

Wanna Smash Burger posted a video of the alleged break-in on their social media on Thursday, April 2, with the caption, "Burgers so good they're breaking in for them."

In the video, a person is seen throwing something through a window of the business, smashing it before entering with another person. 

The Los Angeles, California-based restaurant, which specializes in wagyu smash burgers, held its grand opening just a week before, on March 27. 

Baltimore police said they are aware of the break-in, though as of Friday morning, no arrests have been made.

According to police, the break-in occurred around midnight in the 3500 block of O'Donnell Street. Police said suspects entered the building and stole multiple bottles of alcohol and money before fleeing. 

Data from the Baltimore Police Department shows there were a total of 335 commercial robberies across the city in 2025. So far this year, 79 commercial robberies have been reported. 

Last year, Baltimore's Federal Hill community experienced a string of break-ins amid a spike in crime, police said. 

There were at least eight reported break-ins, larcenies, and destruction of property offenses near Riverside Park. 

Moo Moo Cow, a popular ice cream shop in Federal Hill, was also a victim of three vandalism attacks, in which suspects threw bricks and a rock through the front windows.
