Fire Closes Regal Beagle Bar In Indian Orchard, Massachusetts

A morning break-in and fire has temporarily closed the Regal Beagle bar at 567 Main St. in Indian Orchard, as investigators from the Springfield Bomb and Arson Squad and State Police troopers attached to the State Fire Marshal's Office comb through the debris. Springfield Police Capt. Cheryl Clapprood said officers at the scene reported the bar had been broken into through the rear door and the ATM had been burned to get at the cash box inside. She said the same torch used to extract cash from the ATM was probably used to set the building ablaze. Police found burglary tools along with the torch.
