Chicago Store Owner to Sue the City After His Store Is Looted Twice

• needtoknow.news, Fox News Chicago and Meaww

Walid Mouhammad, the owner of a convenience store in Chicago, is suing the city for police inaction after his store was robbed for the second time. Mouhammad had invested $300,000 in increasing security to the store after the first time he was looted in May. Mouhammad blames the police for his destroyed store, claiming "no one came to stop them."

Mouhammad's store was devastated when it was first looted in May, causing the store owner to invest heavily in security. He had installed security cameras and a new steel security door, which he watched the looters rip out in real-time through the security cameras. He said that the looting was much worse the second time around, as not only did the looters steal the store's merchandise, but ripped out the ATM machine as well.

Mouhammad claims that the looters spend around 25 minutes at his store, according to the Daily Mail, during which several calls to the cops were made. "No one came to stop them," in all that time, he told Fox News, adding that "Officers are seeing what is going on but are doing nothing." The building's landlords themselves made several calls as well. "I made six calls myself.
