Owner of Vancouver restaurant robbed four times in past year warns small businesses
“It’s definitely an ongoing problem. It’s something we’re seeing all around the city. Whether it be glass breaks at store fronts, or actual break and enters,” Vancouver police Const. Tania Visintin said.
“We’re noticing from speaking with people in the community that they’re no longer reporting them to the police. They’re not even reporting them to their insurance companies because it’s just a burden for them. So, a lot of these small businesses are eating out of pocket.”Sarwari agrees, saying filing a police report adds extra work to a small business owner’s already long and busy day.
“It was really frustrating. Because I know what it entails, because it’s happened to us before,” manager Kim Nguyen told Global News at the time.It’s a similar story at the nearby butcher shop, Sebastian and Co. The owner is frustrated by multiple break-ins and burglaries in a matter of weeks. “It just seems like people get caught and then released, and then there’s no consequences. So mainly what I’m thinking is there’s no fear,” Sebastian Cortez said.Sarwari says the latest incident didn’t cost them much cash, but it will likely cost them upwards of $1,000 to replace the locks, buy a new register and connect it to their system.
He doesn’t think his business is being targets specifically, and he empathizes with those who feel the need to resort to crime, but also hopes the break ins will stop.“We just wanted to bring awareness that it could happen to anybody at any time. We just wanted everyone to be safe and just look at their security process and procedures.”
