After three break-ins this year, owners of a San Jose e-sports and gaming lounge are fed up with crime in the downtown area.
In the latest burglary, thieves made off with the entire safe at Guildhouse in late March, prompting the owners to air out their frustrations online.That got the attention of Mayor Matt Mahan and Interim Police Chief Paul Joseph who stopped by the business on Friday to speak with the owners.For the owners of the Guildhouse, the March break-in was the last straw."A team cuts through the backdoor with tools, takes the entire safe, and leaves," says Kevin Wick, one of the owners.
But they say if downtown safety doesn't improve, businesses will suffer."We're not going to give up, and we're not going to like close our businesses down, but it's very frustrating," said another Guildhouse owner, David Faria."We're a small business. Small businesses operate on very thin margins. And this is just one more hit that we didn't want to take," said Wick.San Jose plans to add bike patrols later this year.
