Early Tuesday, the Gold Coast Market posted surveillance video on its Instagram page, showing four men getting out of a gray vehicle.One man had a sledgehammer and tried to smash his way inside the store. Another one of the offenders had a gun and pointed it at someone. Fortunately, the owner said the thieves didn't get in and no one was injured.Earlier this month, in a separate incident, nine suspects broke into the same store and stole thousands of dollars worth of high-end liquor.
The owner believes the city does not have enough police and isn't deploying officers when they are needed."Everything that they're doing, we can replace it, we'll spend a little bit of money, we'll take this financial loss, and we'll fix it, but them pointing a gun at somebody across the street, that was kinda like the red line.
