Another Tucson business dealing with break-in, vandalism

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – An owner is asking for help in identifying the couple that allegedly trespassed and vandalized his business in downtown Tucson on Tuesday, June 16.

Grant Krueger with Union Hospitality Group said two people broke into the patio area of the old HiFi building and tried to damage his security camera.

Union Hospitality, which operates several local hot spots, including Union Public House, Reforma, and Proof, took over the old HiFi location and plans to open it as Block A Sports Bar and Grill.HiFi closed last year after more than a decade in downtown Tucson.

The Tucson Police Department confirmed Krueger filed a police report and asked anyone with information to call 88-CRIME. The case number is 2606170063.

According to the security video, the couple broke into the patio area of the under-construction building around 7 p.m. In the video, you can see the man pick up a piece of metal and try to smash the camera.

When he realized it wasn’t working, he put the metal down and walked away from the camera with the woman.

The man slipped out of the temporary fence put up, leaving the woman behind for a short bit. The man then reached over and helped the woman, who then slipped between the fence and the brick walk.
