Mall shoppers blame car break-ins on lack of security
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — Shoppers are on alert after cars were broken into Monday at Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake. Tatyana, one of the victims who wants to referred to by just her first name, said she was at Greenbrier Mall with her eight-month-old son. When she got back to her car, she felt unsettled by what she saw. Car break-ins and thefts surge in Virginia Beach, prompting police warning 'I put my son in the car and when I was putting him in the car,' Tatyana said. 'I realized his stuff had been thrown across the backseat. I knew something was up, but I tried to ignore it until I started driving and my lights came on and it alerted me that my passenger door had been opened, but I had no passengers.'She admits her car was unlocked while she was shopping. After realizing her door had been opened by someone else, she noticed two pairs of shoes were missing from the floorboard of the passenger side.'It was actually my brother's shoes and they're KD's (Kevin Durant Nike shoes), they're like basketball shoes,' she said. 'And they were made in like 2014, so these shoes are not coming back out again, but they were worth some money. Obviously, I'm just a woman. I was scared because you never know who did it and what they plan to do next.'She called mall security on her way off the property.'When I called security, security says 'Hey, we don't even have cameras on the building anymore because we're updating. So we took all the cameras down, so we can't see anything out in the parking lot,'' she said. Greenbrier Mall was recently bought by Virginia Beach-based developer Mike Sifen. Tatyana thinks the upgrades are part of a renovation and wonders if someone who worked in the mall knew about it. Virginia Beach's Mike Sifen buys Greenbrier Mall for $22.4M We've reached out to the mall's general manager about the cameras and are waiting to hear back. Newport News residents furious over rash of car break-ins There is at least one other victim. Chesapeake Police said a report was filed by someone saying their back window was smashed in and a purse was stolen. They want to remind folks to not leave their doors unlocked or any valuables out in plain sight. If you saw anything that could help police, call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
