Damage keeps mounting and a new local Nanaimo business says it has resulted in several items being stolen.
Flamez Chicken has only been open for a few weeks, but they say a man threw a rock into their window in the early morning hours of May. 12.
As a result of the event, the new business says they’ve spent $6,500 installing scissor gates for their door/alcove, and windows.

The restaurant says a point-of-sale system was stolen, along with a cash register and till.
Owners of the facility say the break-in has been a horrible experience, one they never expected to happen to them.
“It has been horrible, and very painful,” they say. “Especially after spending so much time and money just to open, and now we’ve had to pay even more for security upgrades.”
According to the Nanaimo Area Public Safety Association, this is a very similar method that was used to break into Bastion Pizza on Victoria Crescent three weeks ago and a downtown barbershop.
