I thought this was a safe city, but I don't know anymore," Barragan said. The store said it contacted law enforcement after discovering the second break-in. However, according to the owners, it took approximately two hours for officers to arrive at the scene. Barragan said the response time has led the business to consider additional security measures to prevent future incidents. "We're probably going to have to hire security so we can ensure nothing else gets stolen again," Barragan said. Along with this, the windows of Trophie Gaming have been replaced with plexiglass to deter future break-ins. KFOX14 reached out to the El Paso Police Department for additional information regarding the two break-ins. However, the inquiry was made outside of regular business hours, and a response was not immediately available.
