Trump deploys the National Guard to Washington D.C. streets as part of a crime crackdown after convenience store owners report repeated juvenile robberies.
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.
