The theft was discovered about 5 p.m. Monday and could have occurred anytime between Saturday and then, Berentsen said. She said a significant amount of cash was stolen, creating a burden for the store.
There were no signs of forced entry; Berentsen said the theft might have occurred during business hours.
“We all feel really terrible,” she said.
Orca has operated on Fourth Avenue downtown since 1993, Berentsen said.
