Police staked out a Jet’s Pizza restaurant in Canton earlier this week and captured a man they believe specifically targeted the chain in a string of early morning robberies earlier this week.

Spencer Jurcak Hall, 23 of Canton, was taken into custody about 4:15 a.m. Monday after police interrupted the third burglary that morning at a Jet’s Pizza business in the area, the Observer & Eccentric reports.

Hall is a suspect in two other Jet’s Pizza burglaries in Canton and Plymouth townships. In both cases, the intruder shattered glass – a window at the Jet’s location near Palmer and Haggerty about 1 .m., and the front door at the Plymouth Township location on Ann Arbor Road – and got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

Hall allegedly had smashed the glass at the Jet’s Pizza near Cherry Hill and Canton when he spotted police and took off on foot. He was arrested a short time earlier in a wooded area, WWJ/CBS Detroit reports.

Canton Detective Sgt. Dan Taylor credited alert police officers, who set up surveillance activities after the first two burglaries.

Police say they don’t know what, if any, connection Haggerty has to Jet’s Pizza.

Hall was arraigned by video Tuesday in 35th District Court on three felony charges – two counts of breaking and entering and one count of attempted breaking and entering – and is being held on $50,000 bond pending a preliminary examination in Wayne County Circuit Court to determine if he should stand trial.

A conviction could land Hall in jail for up to 10 years. Hall has pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to his court file.
