Small Business

A large portion of the crimes being discussed were committed by homeless people, according to owners who spoke with NBC 7 on Friday.

Some downtown San Diego business owners met with city leaders this week to give voice to concerns about crime happening in and around their businesses.

“They are out front screaming at customers, throwing things at us, going to the bathroom out front, which has been the main issue lately,” said David Diehl, the owner of D3 Home Modern Furniture. San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott attended the meeting with business owners and concerned residents to share information about how her office prosecutes cases and tips for people to help keep the community safe.“City prosecutors bring charges when a business owner has identified a suspect and police have obtained the evidence required to prove the suspect's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” Elliott said in a statement sent to NBC 7.
