HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A string of car break-ins has some residents in Henrico’s Sandston community frustrated, wondering if anyone will be held accountable.
Bobby Haller, the owner of a vape business broken into back in September , told CBS 6 earlier this week that he’s still waiting on an arrest in that case.

Haller said he shared his concerns on social media, seeing a number of car and home break-ins week after week.
“People who’ve lost faith in the police department, in the system, and now they’re going to start turning to protecting their own property and doing it themselves,” Haller told CBS 6. “It’s pretty disheartening.”
Henrico County Board of Supervisors Chairman Tyrone Nelson said there will be increased police presence in the evening hours, but understands the frustration, noting that police are down about 80 officers.
