Garrett Connolly Paige is charged with burglary and theft on accusations of stealing cash from a safe at Steak ‘n Shake on Vann Drive, according to court documents.

A manager told police that another employee had seen Paige enter the store Sunday through an employees-only door and then go into the manager’s office.

Surveillance video reportedly shows Paige enter the building through a rear employee door, walk to the manager’s office and enter an access code into a safe.

The suspect is then seen immediately leaving the building, according to an affidavit.

The manager told police $430 was missing from the safe.
