"It felt like 20 minutes. It was 38 seconds. It felt like a lifetime," owner Irina Sulay said."What's really sad is that I let him in. I wanted to make everybody comfortable and allowed in this shop, and, unfortunately, we were definitely taken advantage of," Sulay said.Just weeks ago at the AT&T store next door, thieves tried to break in after hours.
"They're perfectly trained because they knew exactly where to hit on the door to get inside," employee Mursalin Rasool said."What we would like is more cops around the neighborhood surveilling. You know, just walking around because we need to be feeling safe if we want to work here, if we want to live here, you know?" Rasool said.
It's not just happening at those stores. Just blocks away, there is another shop that was broken into last year. In both cases, the thieves made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, and, in both cases, no arrests have been made.
