Breaking windows and driving through storefronts are just some of the tactics criminals are using to vandalize and steal from local businesses.

“It’s thousands of dollars for just a simple storefront door,” says Brian Perkins with Perkins Glass and Mirror Company.

He said they continue to stay busy.He estimates 40-50% of his company’s work is repairs for businesses, often from vandalism or break-ins.“Anything that involves that metal framework, or doors.
