On Saturday evening, June 7, various men threatened the owner of the store with a firearm. A week later, on Friday, June 13, he found a bullet hole in the window of the premises. After an explosive went off at the door of the store on the night of Sunday, June 15 to Monday, June 16, the municipality decided to close the premises for six months; a measure to restore the disturbed public order and increase safety for residents. No one was injured in the incidents, but they have had a huge impact on the neighborhood. It is extra shocking for the local residents that despite the closure, an explosive was again found on the morning of Tuesday, June 17.
