Security video from the impacted businesses show the moments that a man smashes through each of their doors along Colorado Boulevard just after 4 a.m. on Sunday. Dominica Abat, who owns Loop Espresso Club, arrived to find the door of his coffee shop shattered, just weeks after opening their doors to the public.
He says that the suspect threw a brick through the front door of their business. 'To put it bluntly, you have to sell a lot of pancakes to pay $800 just to repair things,' Moore said. 'Deal with inflation, increasing wages, tough. And, it's not made easier by people taking what is not theirs.'Chateau Lemongrass was also victimized in the latest round of burglaries, making it the second time in the span of a month.
