'I have been burglarized 15 times in the last year,' a Houston business owner said while addressing Houston City Council.

Slanina says her restaurant and bar along West 18th Street was burglarized twice in 2 days last May. Roughly, 8 months after the burglaries, Slanina says no one has been arrested for the crimes.

"It’s scary," said Slanina. "It’s not comfortable. We know we have to do something bigger as a whole to change what’s going on in our small businesses."Slanina was one of a few local business owners Wednesday to share their crime concerns with Houston’s city council members."Some [business owners] have gone to the great lengths of living in their business with a bulletproof vest and shotgun, during the hours these break-ins are happening," said Slanina.
