The San Diego Sheriff's Department is investigating a string of robberies targeting multiple businesses in the 4 S Ranch Community
Surveillance video captured the moment a suspect used a sledgehammer to break into Ponce’s Mexican Restaurant and took a money bag from their private office.
The incident happened at around 3:30 a.m. Friday along Paseo Del Sur in the 4S Ranch neighborhood of San Diego and resulted in thousands of dollars of damage to the property, according to the owner.“You just feel violated, you know what I mean," Ponce Meza, owner of Ponce’s Mexican Restaurant said."You don’t expect something like this to happen and the way that it did happen, the guy busting a sledgehammer and just busting the door open, it’s pretty crazy.
“Somebody broke in. They stole our register and our deposit bag in the back,” Joshua Cunningham, area manager for Mostra said.Daylight saving time is ending. Why are we still ‘falling back' anyway? She said the suspect or suspects shattered their glass door and rummaged through the entire store pulling anything and everything they could get their hands on.
“It is really sad that someone would take advantage of a small business owner and it’s not cheap to fix everything that they took and destroyed too,” Malone said.“Our door was completely shattered. We had to repair it with some plywood, but luckily we didn’t have anything taken because we always put our money and anything valuable and in the safe at the end of the night,” Ahri Wakley, Chief Lead of Jamba Juice said.
