The new tonight here at 10 a quiet
Halloween night turned into a troubling
morning for a couple of Seminole Heights
businesses. Both were vandalized,
left with broken windows and questions
about who's responsible. And now
Tampa police are looking into whether
these incidents are connected.
Fox 13's Jennifer Vageless joins us now live in the newsroom.
And Jennifer, you spoke with the business owner as you can
only imagine she's probably feeling really unsettled by this.
Yeah, Brianna, these two businesses are just two blocks apart.
And for the owner of Hourglass Pilates,
it was a pretty unnerving way to start her day.
This was a close call, Halloween night,
she was planning to begin decorating the studio
for Christmas and typically she puts
the Christmas tree right by that window.
Fortunately at the last minute she decided to hold off
and it was a client who called
her in the morning to tell her about the broken window.
Looking back at the cameras,
she was appalled by what she saw around 2.30 this morning.
Silver lining is how the community has responded.
This morning one client's husband came to sweep up the glass
and put up a tarp and another
I couldn't tell if somebody threw something
or if they shot at the window.
It's a little hard to tell in the video.
But then whenever the cops came this morning, they were here and they
got another call about another location just a couple blocks down.
And it was a bullet hole in that store.
Is the McNats dry cleaners off of North Florida Avenue
that was closed at the time as well.
Today, it's covered with a tarp
with some remaining pieces of glass on the ground over
there. Now, Tampa police could not confirm whether
these two incidents are linked, but
if you saw anything or have any footage
of either of these incidents, you are asked to
contact Tampa police, Brianna.
And hopefully they will get some answers to figure out who's
behind this. Thank you, Jennifer.
