As part of our ongoing coverage of – actual news and not press releases – we followed up on reader reports of vandalism/attempted burglaries/successful burglaries in downtown Walnut Creek and elsewhere in recent days.
So far as we can determine, about five businesses in downtown Walnut Creek – from sushi restaurants to saloons to crêperies are recovering after having their glass frontages shattered during a flurry of recent incidents.
Our thanks to readers who brought this to our attention in recent days.
We are pretty far west for flamingoes.
Sorry for the rude welcome!
Haven’t seen that much plywood downtown in years.
Which businesses?
Why are we tolerating the increasing crime?!!!
Judging from their signs I’d say Xicote and Flamingo Nail were involved but that’s just a wild guess.
A sad state of affairs in WC. But what should you expect when criminals know that
they likely won’t be prosecuted.
Firestone 11R
That’s for sure!!!
How can they get prosecuted if they don’t get arrested?
Let me guess — masks and hoodies, just like in Lafayette
Pretty much. You’re getting the hang of this.
These businesses had alarms and cameras and these crews are still getting in and stealing despite increases in police presence.
