Police in San Francisco are stepping up patrols in the city's Chinatown, which has been hit by an alarming rash of late-night burglaries and vandalism.
There have been 10 commercial burglaries in the last 45 days in Chinatown, according to the department.
Nearby Begoni Bistro was also hit this week. Someone stole cash and iPads stolen after smashing their way in. "I've never felt so scared in my life walking home at night. In the old days, I used to walk home midnight, 1, 2 o clock in the morning and it's safe," said Louie, president of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance.
At a Far East Cafe dinner to celebrate the promotions of SFPD assistant chief David Lazar and commander Julian Ng Friday evening, crime in the neighborhood was top of mind. SFPD Central Station lieutenant Douglas Farmer said he's committed to prioritizing the safety of Chinatown, particularly in the overnight hours. He also plans to add plainclothes officers.
