The owner of Rancho Quality Market and Liquor Store in Grant Hills, who asked to remain anonymous, was stunned after burglars raided his business. <\/p>\n
The break in happened just after 5 a.m. Thursday, according to San Diego Police.<\/p>\n
Now, the owner is worried for his safety and the safety of the community. He\u2019s asking for help identifying them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I saw the video I was shocked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows two burglars in hoodies breaking into his store.<\/p>\n
You can see one of them wore an orange safety vest and carried a metal device to tray and get inside.<\/p>\n
Right behind him is the second suspect wearing a black hoodie.<\/p>\n
As they both make their way behind the counter, one of them starts grabbing liquor bottles off the shelf.<\/p>\n
One camera angle caught the moment the other suspect runs to the back of the store and opens a door before making his way back to the front, calling on the other cashier to grab the cash register.<\/p>\n
Another camera shows as one of the burglars yanks the cash register out and runs outside.<\/p>\n
Shortly after, the second burglar follows him out with several bottles.<\/p>\n
The owner said he\u2019s grateful nobody was hurt or inside the store at the time of the break-in, but he\u2019s also disappointed by what he said is an \u201cunacceptable response time\u201d from police.<\/p>\n
He said the alarm company called 9-1-1 immediately after notifying him, but officers did not arrive until about an hour and a half later.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not safe for our community. This is unsafe for our family. This is unsafe for our children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The owner said the burglars stole about $20,000 dollars\u2019 worth of liquor bottles, cash, and other property damages.<\/p>\n
He said he\u2019s offering a reward to anyone who comes forward with information, and he asks anyone who may have seen something to contact the San Diego Police Department.<\/p>\n
NBC 7 San Diego reached out to SDPD to ask the reason for the delay in response time and is awaiting a response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The owner of Rancho Quality Market and Liquor Store in Grant Hills, who asked to remain anonymous, was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-404138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
