‘Hamburglar’ accused of breaking into Wendy’s, making himself food

JENSEN BEACH, Florida (KTRK) — A man was caught on camera making himself a burger before robbing a Wendy’s.

Patrick Benson, 34, was arrested Saturday and charged with burglary, grand theft and attempted burglary, according to deputies.

Deputies say Benson used a large rock to smash his way into the fast food restaurant.

Deputies call Benson the “modern day Hamburglar” because he then fired up a grill and made himself a burger, before taking off with the safe.

Investigators say they have linked him to several other thefts at restaurants.

“The suspect has been successful at forcing his way into two restaurants cooking himself some dinner — then stealing what he can’t consume,” the sheriff’s office said Friday.

He was arrested after police posted his photo on social media.
