Dayton police responded to four businesses since midnight:

J J Fish & Chicken at 2905 Salem Avenue
Dollar General at 2312 North Main Street
Domino's Pizza at 1800 North Main Street

In all the Dayton break-ins — except for Church’s Chicken — a man used a brick to break windows and enter the businesses, according to police incident reports.

The owner of J J Fish & Chicken told investigators his surveillance and alarm system captured images of the man committing the crime and around $1,000 was stolen from the business’ safe, officers detailed in a report.

Managers of both Dollar General and Dominos reported a man attempted to break open safes in back offices, according to police. In both break-ins it was not clear if anything was taken from the businesses.
