Tennessee police are searching for a brazen burglar who rappelled down into a bowling alley business early Sunday and stole around $1,500 in cash. 

Police said the bowling bandit cut a large hole in the roof of Lanes Trains and Automobiles in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and rappelled down a rope to get inside. The burglary also cut a hole through some drywall, police said.
