A refrigerated van stolen in the dead of night has set of a local restaurant owners reeling for business. The van contained all the fresh ingredients needed for three South Philadelphia restaurants to serve the communities.
Los Taquitos de Puebla is struggling to buy food and supplies after their van was stolen last August and, again, in February, loaded with supplies.
"It’s very hard for me, because I don’t have the money to make the payments," owner Nacho Flores said. Nacho’s restaurant also was vandalized just a week after the first theft. The commercial corridor manager of the area shared video with FOX 29 showing the damage. In Spanish, Nacho says he wishes there was more attention on how violence is impacting people in South Philly just trying to do their jobs. The restaurants are now in dire situations, due to the thefts, and have"I understand the life and everybody needs money fast. But, this is not the way," Tlacopilco said of the thefts.
So far, $12,059 has been raised, with a goal of $45,000. The owners say one of the struggles they are facing is reaching people, especially in the Latino community. Anyone wishing to help can do so
