Just in the last month, Tanous said the business has been vandalized with graffiti three other times.
“This rock was thrown into the front door and adjacent buildings have also been vandalized," Tanous said. “We hope this is now the last time. We hope police take note of what is happening.”
Police are now looking for the man who at the time of the incident was wearing jeans and a dark shirt.

“We hope someone knows this guy and he pays the price for what he did," Tanous said.
