Bluestone Lane Cafe, Koku Japanese, Meraki Taverna, and David Chen's Restaurant were all burglarized between Monday to Tuesday night in the hamlet of Armonk, according to North Castle Police.

Officials have confirmed that cash and items were taken from each location.

The four businesses: Bluestone Lane Cafe, Koku Japanese, Meraki Taverna and David Chen's Restaurant, are all within a 10-minute radius of each other.

Eric Cheng, the owner of Koku Japanese, says between the damage, money, and top shelf bottles which were stolen, it will cost his restaurant upwards of $3,000.

This is his restaurants second time this year being burglarized.

"The first time was back on Jan. 20. so, within two months, I got hit twice," he said.

A neighboring business to his, Meraki Taverna, was also burglarized.

"When I opened the restaurant, then I realized, behind the bar, and in front...there were papers and everything messy...and then I realized someone had broken into the restaurant," owner Michalakis Sarris said.

Both owners say the burglars accessed their businesses through their respective back doors.

The string of robberies are currently under investigation by the North Castle Detective Division.
