WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A West Palm Beach business is reeling after a high-value commercial burglary resulted in the theft of over $20,000 in cash, alongside lottery tickets and prescription medications. The incident has prompted an intensive investigation by local law enforcement officers.

According to details released by the West Palm Beach Police Department, the perpetrators gained entry to the commercial establishment under the cover of darkness. Once inside, they located and breached the secure area where the cash reserves were kept, making off with a significant sum of money.
