'For it to happen again breaks my heart' | Cedar Park vape shop owner speaks out after repeated break-ins
A Cedar Park vape shop owner is heartbroken after their location was broken into via car ramming, marking the second such incident in a week.Summary
Drip n Rip Vapes in Cedar Park, Texas, was recently targeted by masked individuals who crashed a car into the storefront to steal merchandise, an incident captured on surveillance footage that lasted only two minutes. This was the second time in a week one of the company's locations was hit in an identical manner, with the Pflugerville store being targeted on October 14th. Co-owner Lacy Hobble expressed deep emotional and financial distress, stating that the repeated attacks are "heartbreaking" as all profits are reinvested into the business. Authorities are investigating both incidents, noting the vehicle used in the first break-in was stolen. Hobble estimates the combined damage from stolen goods and repairs totals around $50,000 and plans to install new security measures like cement barriers and roll-down gates to deter future attempts.
