Robbery - no permit needed

https://www.kitv.com/news/rash-of-crimes-in-kalihi-pushing-mom-and-pop-shop-out-of-business/article_876a0aa0-2d97-11ed-8ec2-eb2a3cd636f9.html

Just six weeks ago, a thief assaulted and maced a longtime employee of KC Market, leaving the elderly woman's eyes burning and injuring her back.

But the incident was just the beginning of a series of thefts, including a burglary this morning at the 40-year-old neighborhood store.

"They live in trepidation and fear every day now," said Roy Chang of his parents who run the shop, but asked not to be identified. "It's not safe for them. These people prey on the elderly."
Because of the crime wave and lack of consequences for criminals, the family says they are now planning to sell the store they worked for years to build.

Chang hopes that by sharing his family's story, there will be changes to the justice system so that other small businesses won't face the same fate.

"If there's no consequences, I mean, people are gonna keep on doing it," he said. "Is it the cops? Is it the judicial system? Is it the prosecutors that aren't putting them away? Is it the jails that are overfull? I mean, I don't know what the solution is, but something needs to be done."

And he's hoping the community won't continue to live in fear.

"It's happening more so everywhere but you know, like coming closer to home is kind of more fearful," Medeiros added. "Got to watch out for my kids too."
