The issue of homeless addicts remains an alarming concern in the streets of San Nicolas. For quite some time now, a situation has been unfolding stretching from the police station to the Lago Weg intersection. A homeless addict has completely terrorized the area.
Shop owners are becoming the victims of break ins almost daily. It is suspected that these addicts break into the shops as revenge for when they are dismissed during the day when they come begging for money.
The addict waits for the shopkeeper to leave before breaking in and damaging the establishments. They throw objects at the windows, whether it’s stones, pipes, or sticks, vandalizing the premises. This is a situation that has left the shopkeepers exhausted.
The San Nicolas Business Association has been in contact regarding this situation and is considering their plan of action. They are waiting for the association to come forward in the coming days to see if they have engaged with the relevant authorities dealing with these homeless addicts.
This situation is distressing as it forces the shopkeepers to reconsider whether to continue operating their businesses, close down, or move elsewhere. They are also having to cover all the repair expenses of all the property that was damaged in the process.
