One Commercial Property Saw Six Breakins in Just Two Weeks

Protect Your Commercial Real Estate
A shopping center in Baton Rouge suffered six break-ins in just two weeks during July 2024​. Local shop owners were left feeling vulnerable as intruders repeatedly smashed doors and stole cash, highlighting how persistent thieves can terrorize a retail center in a short time.
Thieves are looking to score big, targeting commercial properties. But it isn’t always product inventory they’re after. In 2023, thieves stole electrical equipment from a San Antonio commercial property, cutting power for over a week​. Small businesses lost income until repairs were made. This incident shows how vandalism and theft of infrastructure can shut down small retailers.
Police data from Maryland shows 551 incidents were reported at Towson Town Center in 2023, up from 269 incidents in 2021
