Security video shows a thief breaking into the Celtic Tea Shoppe just after 6 a.m. Sunday at Branham Plaza in San Jose\u2019s Pinehurst neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tough as a mom-and-pop shop. We make everything ourselves,\u201d owner Dean Scott said.<\/p>\n
Dean and his wife, Kristen, opened the shoppe in 2006. What started as a candy shop has grown into a bakery specializing in Scottish and Irish treats.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re making food that feeds the heart, soul and stomach,\u201d Kristen said.<\/p>\n
But in nearly 20 years of business, the couple says they have dealt with six break-ins.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s burglary was the second in less than a month. Security video also captured two people breaking into the business on Aug. 4.<\/p>\n

Kristen said five other businesses in the plaza were also targeted.<\/p>\n
In the two most recent break-ins, the thieves only got away with a toolbox, but the damage left behind has been costly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got a bill for two broken glass doors. That is going to be minimum $800 each,\u201d Kristen said.<\/p>\n
Still, the Scotts say they are not letting a broken door break their spirit \u2014 or their business.<\/p>\n
The couple was back to work baking Tuesday and hopes the community will come together to help identify those responsible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve heard there has been an uptick in break-ins, car break-ins throughout the neighborhood. We just want people to come together and communicate to see if we can get to the bottom of it,\u201d Dean said.<\/p>\n
The Scotts are working with the plaza\u2019s property manager on ways to prevent another break-in and are also in contact with the San Jose Police Department.<\/p>\n
The couple said they are grateful for the outpouring of support from the community.<\/p>\n
