KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- A man who broke into the Water Street Coffee Joint early Wednesday was caught in the act Wednesday.

An employee at a gas station on the other side of Oakland Drive saw him loitering around the building and then heard a loud banging noise just after 5 a.m.  He alerted police who responded and could hear the burglar banging around inside the business.

Officers went in and arrested the 36-year-old suspect.  He had apparently gained entrance through a broken window.
