“We don’t feel safe”: Winnipeg bakery owners call for action after 2nd break in

The owners of Cinnaholic on McPhillips Street are calling for action regarding crime in the neighbourhood after the shop was broken into for a second time.
The owners of Cinnaholic on McPhillips Street are calling for action regarding crime in the neighbourhood after the shop was broken into for a second time right before its one-year anniversary.
Global News found out about the incident after reading a Facebook post made by the shop’s account. According to the post the incident happened at 5:20 a.m.
The post reads, “We don’t feel safe. We have put up surveillance and alarm system but that doesn’t stop thieves from coming in.”
Colin Finlay owns the shop with his wife and said the break-ins have created a financial and emotional toll on them as business owners.
“And for our staff who need to feel safe and in the environment that they work,” he added.
Finlay said nothing was taken as the shop does not keep cash on sight, but it did take away a sense of safety and security.
“It’s really tough for people to feel safe coming into work when this continuously happens at the place that they work.”
He said six months ago another break-in occurred. The shop has also had two instances while they were open and two staff were working.
