On Monday night, the popular restaurant La Boheme in West Hollywood was closed because owners and staff went to the City Council meeting to stress their safety concerns.
Lucian Tudor, the co-owner of La Boheme has had enough with the rising crime, and says he may even sell the place after 32 years.
"Small business matters, keep us safe, keep us safe," Tudor said at the meeting. "We've been vandalized five times, five times, this is unacceptable." Last summer, the West Hollywood City Council voted to cut four Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies and boost the number of unarmed security ambassadors from 30 to 85."If you hear on the news that West Hollywood is getting rid of sheriffs or Los Angeles is getting rid of sheriffs, burglars are not stupid. We don't want to become targets either," said JJ of West Hollywood.
"We're dealing either with people, either jumping into our operation and screaming, or dropping down tables and scaring the customers away," said Tudor.
