RICHMONDVirginia (WRIC) — A New Year's Eve robbery has a local business owner calling for more police action.
Scott Waters, owner of Driply Vapes in downtown Richmond, is calling for action after his business was raided, leaving his shelves empty. He says it wasn't the first time.
St. Petersburg fire chief leaves amid concerns about staff and equipment
Waters told 8News that his business has been on the corner of Grace Street and Belvidere Street for the past seven years. He said that the business was going very well and that he had not had any problems with anyone until last year.
“I no longer feel safe doing business in Richmond,” Waters said.
According to Waters, the trouble started in February 2022 when an employee allegedly stole $6,000 in lottery tickets from the store. Then, in October 2022, Waters said the store was robbed at gunpoint.
The most recent incident occurred over New Year's Eve weekend when a suspect reportedly broke into the front door and stole a large portion of the store's merchandise.

The suspect reportedly tried to use a brick to break down the front door. When that didn't work, he kicked off the glass and scrambled for the door. Once inside, the suspect moved around the store and stuffed various items into his pockets.
Waters said he doesn't know how much the lost merchandise is worth, just that it will be difficult to recover.
“He got away with a lot of things,” Waters said. “He stole all my menthol cigarettes, which is mostly what we sell in this area when it comes to cigarettes, even all my disposable vaporizers, rolling papers, he got away with a lot of things.”
After the first incident in February 2022, Waters said he stepped up security by installing an electromagnetic lock on the front door. Now, he says that he's not sure if it's worth it anymore.

“At this point, I mean, I really don't know if it's worth investing more in security,” he said. “After the second robbery, we changed the layout of the store to make it a bit more secure, but it didn't actually stop anyone.”
Waters says that he is now thinking of leaving the business altogether. When he ends his lease, he says that he plans to move out of town.
“I think really my only message is to be safe,” he said. “It is very scary that we have to move around the city and not feel safe.”

There is growing optimism that Arsenal will agree a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykhailo Mudryk, while the Gunners are also in talks with Atletico Madrid over the loan of Joao Felix.
Arsenal and Shakhtar are continuing talks over Mudryk's fee amount and pay structure.
A source told Sky Sports News that Arsenal are prepared to pay a fee closer to Shakhtar's £85m valuation. No deal has been reached yet, but Arsenal are working hard to find a compromise.
Jamie Carragher says he would love to see Arsenal win the title and believes the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk could be key in their efforts to withstand a challenge from Manchester City.There is a feeling from sources close to the deal that the clubs will "find a solution" as the 21-year-old wants the move and personal terms to be non-issues.
Sky Sports News reported last week that Shakhtar considers Mudryk, who has played just eight times for his country and has yet to score a goal in international football, as one of the top five wingers in the world.
Shakhtar believe he is better than Antony at Manchester United, who cost Ajax £86m in the summer, and are using him as a reference in negotiations.
Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who previously managed Mykhailo Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk, praised the 21-year-old.Last week, Shakhtar chief executive Sergei Palkin confirmed that the club had received offers for Mudryk, including from Arsenal, but that they were "not the ones we would like to see" to close a deal.
Chelsea also eyed Mudryk but did not make a formal offer for the Ukrainian, who watched Arsenal's match against West Ham on Boxing Day on TV and posted a photo on Instagram.
Arsenal in Félix loan talks Image: Joao Félix has been at Atlético Madrid since July 2019Arsenal is also in talks with Atlético about the loan of Félix.
The Spanish club are believed to want around £19m on a six-month loan deal which would include wages, but Arsenal feel this is too much and will only look for a move if the figures are correct.
A loan swap for the 23-year-old, who has a contract at Atleti until the summer of 2026, works for both clubs.
Diego Simeone's side are interested in maintaining their market value for a possible sale in the summer, while Arsenal seek cover for the injured Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to return later this season.
Félix, who joined Atlético for £113m in July 2019, has scored five goals in all competitions for the club this season, while netting one in last year's World Cup with Portugal.
Why is Mudryk in demand? Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam gives a transfer update on Arsenal's search for Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.At the start of last season, he was an unknown outside Ukraine with a transfer value of less than £1m. He is now one of the most coveted young players in Europe. After an explosive rise, Mykhailo Mudryk seems destined for great things.
Darijo Srna, Shakhtar Donetsk's director of football, described the 21-year-old, who displayed his exciting speed and one-on-one skill in the Champions League group stage, as "the best player in Europe in his position" after Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior.
There may be a touch of exaggeration in that statement, but Srna isn't the only one who holds Mudryk in high regard. The list of suitors for him is long and Premier League leaders Arsenal sit at the top.

toggle title Jeff Dean/APFans gather outside the University of Cincinnati Medical Center Monday night in Cincinnati where the Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin was taken after collapsing on the field during an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals .
Jeff Dean/APAn online fundraiser started by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has recorded more than $3 million in donations just hours after the NFL star went into cardiac arrest during a game on Monday.
The Bills said in a statement that the 24-year-old's heartbeat returned while he was on the field, but he was sedated and remains in critical condition. The NFL suspended the game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals as condolences poured in for Hamlin from around the sports world.
Fans also showed their support by investing millions of dollars in a charity that Hamlin started in 2020, shortly before he was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft.
"As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I came from and am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me," Hamlin wrote on the foundation's GoFundMe page.
The Chasing M Foundation was running a drive to buy toys for children affected by the pandemic in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, where he grew up.
A cached version of the GoFundMe page shows that before Hamlin's collapse, the foundation had raised just over $2,900.
As of 8 a.m. Tuesday, the fundraiser has surpassed $3.3 million in donations, 135,000% more than its goal. Thousands of fans of NFL teams shared words of support on the page, which GoFundMe verified on Twitter.
Here is the verified GoFundMe that Demar Hamlin started in December to help kids have a magical Christmas.
Following his injury on the field tonight, fans across the country are showing their support for him and his family by donating to his fundraiser https://t.co/wcubpBpdd1
— GoFundMe (@gofundme) January 3, 2023Buffalo Bills fans, who call themselves the Mafia, have a history of responding to tragedy with acts of charity.
When Bills quarterback Josh Allen lost his grandmother, they donated $1.1 million to build a new wing at a local hospital. They also raised $75,000 for a rival player's favorite charity, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, after he was knocked out of a 2021 playoff game with a concussion.
Hamlin, a sophomore safety who played for the University of Pittsburgh, collapsed after tackling Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of the game. Hamlin is being treated at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
