In a troubling trend affecting local businesses, Alnico, a popular Filipino brunch spot in San Francisco’s Mission District, has experienced its third break-in within six weeks, raising concerns about the effectiveness of current security measures.
On a recent Sunday, Alnico’s kitchen staff arrived to find a shattered window – evidence of yet another intrusion. The perpetrators targeted the restaurant’s built-in safe, ingeniously cutting a hole into its side and extracting approximately $500 in cash tips using a vacuum cleaner, according to manager Christine Guevarra.
Despite efforts to minimize cash transactions following previous incidents, the thieves persisted. Guevarra suspects a recurring group, noting, “I know it’s the same person or team coming in because they know exactly where to go.” The latest break-in left behind blood evidence, now under analysis by police investigators.
