Mindy Fong, owner of Jade Chocolates tea and coffee shop, said she decided to hold kung fu classes for employees starting in late March after a series of thefts took place in the area.

“Every day something happens,” Fong said. “I’ve seen people being chased on the street because they stole something from jewelry stores or camera stores.”
