A small business owner spoke only on ABC13, saying he's fallen victim to the uptick in crime at his store in the Independence Heights despite a Houston Police Department substation being nearby.

Saturday, March 30, 2024 12:35AMSecurity cameras watching these brazen thieves' every move didn't stop them from walking into a business in Independence Heights.

On March 24, the two suspects are seen walking in the door with their faces visible to the camera in broad daylight. Minutes later, they're seen walking out with a safe. "They came in two different cars," Berrospe said. "When you see something taken, something you worked so hard for, and all of a sudden, someone walks in and doesn't care.""They just had a new fence in because they had people breaking into cars, catalytic converters," Berrospe said.

In 2023, more than 12,000 reports were suspended, and in 2024, there were nearly 800 before Finner said his officers no longer use the code.
