Northeast Fresno restaurant repeatedly targeted by vandals<\/a><\/p>\nNekumanesh says the perpetrators typically use large rocks to break the glass, but Saturday, they employed a different tool.<\/p>\n
“This time, they grabbed the grate from the sewage, and threw that through the window,” he said.<\/p>\n
For a locally owned restaurant like this burger joint, the repair costs add up quickly and they can’t afford increased security equipment.<\/p>\n
But they also can’t afford to stay shut down.<\/p>\n
Colorado Grill was back to serving customers with a boarded-up door Sunday night.<\/p>\n
“I’ll get the board up company, comes and they charge five, six hundred bucks. Glass is usually, I’d have to ballpark it, probably between one and two thousand. And then sometimes they steal things, this time they stole an iPad,” Nekumanesh said.<\/p>\n
Despite the endless frustration, the owner believes there is a deeper issue at the root of the vandalism.<\/p>\n
Sitting right off of the Highway 41 overpass, he says the area struggles with unhoused residents and substance abuse issues.<\/p>\n
“It’s not a personal attack, it’s a societal problem. You have a collection of people who either need help, or are there for whatever reason. Other things spark up from that.”<\/p>\n
