LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas restaurant is using surveillance video from a break-in to dish out jabs at the suspected burglars on social media.

The Las Vegas Sun reports (http://bit.ly/1Pp059F) a manager at Frijoles & Frescas Grilled Tacos added some humorous on-screen narration to footage from a Dec. 16 break-in and posted the final product to YouTube.

The tongue-in-cheek text laid over the video attributes the behavior of the suspects, who can be seen throwing rocks, to an intense desire for tacos.

But the video also offers a phone number to call if anyone has information about the incident.

The video had amassed nearly 3 million views as of Saturday.

Police say the three suspects are believed to be connected to a string of burglaries targeting smaller eateries and fast food restaurants.
