Coastal Edge says 4 people broke into VB Oceanfront location Sunday morning
The break-ins happened over the last few months at Coastal Edge at Arctic and 21st in the Resort Area. The most recent incident happened on July 23 early in the morning.
Surveillance video showed the suspect breaking in. Police on Tuesday said they're all between 13 and 17 years old.
D. Nachnani, the president of Coastal Edge, got to meet and thank the investigators who worked on the case. He said he was relieved that the suspect have been charged.
Nachnani talked to News 3 about how his business has recovered.
"It was more frustrating than anything else," he said. "I kept a thought process of gratefulness that everyone was safe and that it could have been far worse, and the clean up was minimal, and the expenditures were minimal in the grand scheme of things."
Nachnani said he added extra security measures following the break-ins, including more cameras and security bars.
Police said this is a good example of how tips from the community can help solve crime.
