Thief Breaks Into Opa-locka Veterans Center

An Opa-locka group that helps South Florida veterans is looking for help after a burglar targeted them in the middle of the night.

The theft means this week's food giveaway from the Make a Wish Veterans probably won't happen.

A thief made off with food, computers, TVs and paperwork Wednesday morning at the organization, which operates out of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post near 151st Street and Northwest 22nd Avenue.

The group serves food to vets every Friday but relies on donations to keep going.
