"I'm alarmed that thieves broke into the Blue Bayou Cafe at 12008 East Freeway on February 7, dragging the safe through the kitchen and stealing $1,600; this is the latest of six break-ins since the restaurant opened in 2015, and those incidents have cost the owners tens of thousands of dollars and in some cases involved workers and patrons being held up at gunpoint. Aguirre said, “The middle of the night when we walk outside, we never know if we’re going to make it home,” and news coverage includes video footage of the most recent break-in as the owners ask the public for help catching the thieves." - Adele Chapin
