OSHKOSH, Wis. — As the owners of Players Pizza & Pub in Oshkosh look to the future after fire heavily damages the building, Oshkosh police are investigating a burglary at the site.
Police say sometime between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday, an individual was captured on security cameras at the scene. Anyone with information is asked to contact Oshkosh police.
At the same time, the cause of a fire that damaged Players Pizza & Pub is believed to be electrical in nature.
In a Facebook post, the restaurant owners say investigators suspect the fire stemmed from an electrical connection to the building’s HVAC system.
They add that the roof and bar will need to be repaired and the kitchen will need to be replaced. Fire crews were called to Players Wednesday night to find flames coming from the eaves. No one was hurt.
