Thirteen flat-panel TVs were reported stolen from two popular Toledo bars and nightlife establishments last weekend, Toledo police said.

An employee of Metropolis at The Docks in East Toledo told officers eight 42-inch flat-panel TVs were taken early Saturday morning. The suspect is believed to have had a key to the building, and the club's alarm system was turned off at 3:40 a.m. and turned back on at 4:05 a.m.

Four 50-inch TVs were reported stolen from Big'z Bar and Grill, 2600 West Sylvania Ave. in West Toledo. A manager told police that when he opened the bar Saturday four TVs were missing and a fifth was broken. Police believe that the suspect entered by breaking a side-door window.
