Syracuse Business Owner Upset By Recent Burglaries
SYRACUSE - Small businesses in Syracuse may have to step up their security since a number of them have been the victims of thefts and burglaries. One such business is Higgins Sport and Lawn Equipment.Pat Higgins, proprietor, said he has been hit six times in the last year. "My gut feeling is that 50 percent is youth, but there are a large number of professionals who come into the area," Higgins said. Higgins said the only way to solve the problem was for the Syracuse police to drive through the village and through the town at least once an hour.But, he said, he has contacted the state police to handle the investigation because the local police don't seem to put enough hours into the case. "I feel that the state police will take more time to investigate them than the city," he said.
