CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) – A local Mountain Mike’s restaurant in Citrus Heights was vandalized for the second time in four months on May 8 and the store’s owners fear it may be a hate crime.

Dave Brar has been the owner of Mountain Mike’s off Sunrise Boulevard and Antelope Road for 22 years. Brar believes the recent attacks on his restaurant may be racially motivated as he and his family are of Punjabi descent.

On Sunday, May 8, shortly after 4:11 a.m. a man in a hoodie is seen on security camera footage arriving at the restaurant and singling it out as the only store in the shopping center that he attacked. According to Brar, 31 windows and three doors were vandalized. Nothing was stolen from the restaurant.

This was the second time in four months that the Mountain Mike’s location had been attacked. On Jan. 10, two men are seen on security camera footage pulling up to the restaurant in a white pickup truck and smashing six windows. Brar has other local businesses that have also been vandalized recently. The incidents have left customers feeling unsafe when arriving at and departing from the restaurant, leading to Brar’s business suffering.

According to the Citrus Heights Police Department, the attack does appear to be targeted, although there is not any evidence at this time indicating that the vandalism is a hate crime. Investigators are searching for the suspects and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the CHPD at (916) 727-5524. For those with information that want to remain anonymous, call the Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357).
