SAN DIEGO — San Diegans are working to address crime committed against businesses near and around downtown.
"Seeing more and more problems with homelessness with crime so the communities came together," said Kevin Arnold, the founder of the San Diego Neighborhood Coalition. "One of the business owners on Pacific Highway came into his business and there was a homeless man sleeping in the business. When they asked this person to leave the homeless person pulled a knife on the employees," Arnold said.
