DC shop owners speak out on juvenile crime after massive robbery

Sajib Uddula and Tamika Alston, the owners of a store that was robbed by juveniles, discusses Washington D.C.’s crime problem and more on ‘America Reports.’

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., is just beginning — and one shop in the city is eager to see the results.

Convenience shop owners Sajib Uddula and Tamika Alston expressed their concerns about crime in the nation’s capital during an appearance on "America Reports." Uddula recounted how their store was ransacked by a large group of juveniles, expressing shock at the scale of the incident.

"It’s a lot of young kids," he said during the Thursday segment, which featured surveillance footage of the encounter. "It’s like, 10 to 15, 15 to 20 of them — I think it’s more than that. They came to the store, and there's no talking. They’re just taking the stuff. They keep coming back and throwing it outside."

Alston said after the police arrived, the following day, the perpetrators made a second attempt at a robbery of the store. 

"They came down there yesterday and threatened they’re going to do it again," she explained. "I don’t know what we are going to do at this point." 

Despite the owners’ anxieties in response to the recent crime at their establishment, they expressed optimism that Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C. and deployment of the National Guard to city streets could improve the situation. 

"I hope it's going to be real better," Uddula said.
