Business owner questions SFPD's effectiveness after $30K loss from repeat smash-and-grabs
Briefly

A small business in San Francisco's Richmond District has suffered four smash-and-grab burglaries over six months, with the latest occurring at 3:15 a.m. The business owner believes that $20,000 to $30,000 worth of goods were stolen during the recent incident. Despite having numerous security cameras, the suspects continue to evade arrest and police response has been called into question, particularly after officers failed to pursue as suspects fled the scene, intensifying community frustration over the effectiveness of local law enforcement and safety on the streets.
The latest smash-and-grab incident at Cigarettes Cheaper raised concerns among locals about police efficacy, as suspects evaded arrest despite the officers being on the scene.
Surveillance footage shows officers with drawn guns at a recent break-in, yet they did not pursue the suspects, provoking frustration from the shop owner and nearby residents.
