21 Aug
Summary
- Four thieves attempted to rob Dots Cafe but fled after being startled.
- The bakery has experienced multiple criminal incidents recently.
- Staff are present 24/7 due to continuous baking operations.
Four individuals attempted a robbery at Dots Cafe & Bakery early Wednesday morning, between 3 and 4 a.m., by breaking the shop's glass door. Their attempt was thwarted when a staff member, present on-site due to the bakery's 24-hour baking schedule, startled the intruders with a scream. The suspects immediately fled the scene without taking anything of value.
This incident marks the latest in a series of criminal acts targeting the establishment. The owner, Hailey Kwon, recently reported vandalism that damaged essential equipment like AC and refrigeration units. In response to the increasing frequency of such events, Kwon has invested in a high-tech alarm and camera system to enhance security and has alerted the police, who are patrolling the area.
Kwon has used social media to raise awareness among neighbors and other businesses, urging them to remain vigilant. Despite the setbacks, she expressed gratitude for her staff's bravery and the team's resilience in overcoming challenges, viewing this latest incident as a minor setback.
