REPEAT BREAK-IN ATTEMPT: SMALL BUSINESS HIT AGAIN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
This is very alarming for our neighborhood. For the second time, this local convenience store had its front glass smashed. Last week, it reportedly happened again, and now the window has been damaged badly enough that it had to be covered and taped up.
Thankfully, it appears the thief got nothing — but that does not erase the bigger problem. Small businesses should not have to keep paying for broken windows, lost time, fear, and damage while repeat incidents continue.
This is not just one store’s problem. This is a community safety issue. We need stronger police visibility, more follow-up, and cooperation from nearby residents, building owners, and businesses with cameras. If anyone saw something or has CCTV footage, report it. Silence only helps the people doing this.
For Montreal, SPVM says emergencies should go to 911, non-urgent matters should be handled through the local neighborhood police station, and anonymous tips can be sent to Info-Crime Montréal at 514-393-1133. SPVM also says theft, mischief, and graffiti may be reported online when eligible.
