Washington, President Donald Trump’s crack on crime in DC is just beginning – and a shop in the city is keen to see the results.
The owners of the convenience shop Sajib Udula and Tamika Alston expressed their concern about the crime in the country’s capital during an appearance on “US Reports”. Udula said how her store was vandalized by a large group of adolescent girls, expressing shock on the scale of the incident.
“These are many young children,” he said during Thursday’s section, with an encounter surveillance footage. “It likes, 10 to 15, 15 to 20 of them – I think it’s more than that. They come to the store, and do not talk. They are just taking goods. They keep coming back and throw it out.”

Alston said that after the arrival of the police, the next day, the criminals made a second attempt on a robbery of the store.
“They came down there yesterday and threatened that they were going to do it again,” he explained. “I don’t know what we are going to do at this point.”

Alston defeated the call for more recreational centers for children and later school activities to reduce adolescent crime.
“I think children need to teach a lesson – lock them. Parents can’t do anything with them. They are out of control. Lock them! I don’t know what else to say.”
“If parents cannot control the children, I think the government can handle it,” said Udula.
