La Spada restaurant in Saint-Henri broken into again after new alarm fails to trigger

A Saint-Henri restaurant was broken into for the second time in the past three months.

La Spada on Notre-Dame Street says four bottles of alcohol were stolen in the Wednesday morning break-in.

“Another $1,000+ in damage to replace doors and locks. Waste of time and energy,” the restaurant wrote on social media.

After La Spada was broken into in April – during which the empty safe was stolen – the Saint-Henri eatery replaced its broken alarm system.

On Wednesday, that “brand-new state-of-the-art alarm system” didn’t trigger, La Spada said.

A video shared to La Spada’s social media shows the alleged robber using a tool to attempt to pry open the restaurant door. A second video shows the man walking around inside.

“The best part? Full face on camera. No shame whatsoever,” the restaurant wrote on Instagram. “I honestly can’t make this stuff up anymore.

“Owning a restaurant is hard enough without dealing with this. Just exhausting.”
