Surveillance footage shows a few major incidents the store has dealt with since last November.
The front of the store has been shot out by a pellet gun and smashed by a rock as someone ran in to steal from the register."So it started in June when we discovered that our gate had been clipped," Dorward told us as he pointed out his back fence. "And then in July, this is where they came in and took some batteries of ours. Finally, they went for the entrance. This happened over a period of two months and they came back about ten times.
"Up to that time for the first 13 years, we've had no incidents and just in this last year, there's been that increase in vandalism and crime that's affected our store," Dorward said. Now, it's not just Batteries and Bulbs, other businesses on Stevens Creek Boulevard have reported an uptick in break-ins over the last year, including just up the road at Santana Row and Valley Fair Mall.
