Four-Year-Old Breaks Into Beaumont Store

Police were alerted to a break-in at a Beaumont Family Dollar after a four-year-old got into the store at 3AM Monday morning. It seems he unlocked a door at home, walked to the store a block away, crossing a multi-lane road, and found his way in through an unlocked door (see the video here). The opening of the unlocked door triggered a silent alarm; when the cops came, they discovered the small boy playing with toys in the store. Police found the boy's mom looking for him in the neighborhood nearby. While CPS investigates the incident (even though they suspect no foul play on the parents' part), she has voluntarily placed her son and his brother with other family members. [KFDM]
