Wave of burglaries hits LA County: pharmacies, Wing Stop and barber shop targeted [Video]

PARAMOUNT, Calif. (KABC) — A wave of burglaries has targeted eight businesses across L.A. County. Among the businesses hit were several pharmacies in Paramount and Cerritos, two wing stops and a barber shop.

“As a business owner that’s something you have to deal with every day. That little tension in yourself, you’re just always looking at the cameras,” said Mendoza Shoes owner Elizabeth Mendoza.

Mendoza said she’s on edge after the recent burglaries. In her shopping plaza in Paramount, a barber shop and pharmacy were burglarized during the early morning hours, with their windows smashed. Mendoza said this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Another wave of burglaries hit the same plaza back in January.

“We don’t leave any money out in the night because we know these things happen. But just a break in the door cost us $450,” Mendoza said.
