2 Fresno Tower District businesses vandalized

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- On Sunday morning, management and baristas started their day by seeing bricks surrounded by shards of broken glass inside Component Coffee Lab.

CO-Owner Jonathan Anderson says this is the sixth time someone has vandalized their Tower District business.

"This one is definitely probably the worst that I've ever seen. It did feel like a bomb had gone off right in the café," Anderson said.

By Monday, large boards and glass still covered the entrance. Anderson says because of the vandalism attack, the coffee shop had to throw away a lot of product.

And they will likely pay upward of $15,000 dollars to replace all the windows.

Fresno Police say they received several calls around 3 a.m. Sunday.

"Because of the help of witnesses, officers were able to quickly able to locate and identify a suspect that's believed to be responsible for the vandalism," Fresno Police Sergeant Diana Trueba-Vega said.

Police say 38-year-old Danny Alfredo Vega threw bricks at several windows- also hitting Tower Yoga, which is next door to Component Coffee Lab.

Vega was arrested and is facing felony vandalism charges.

As Component Coffee Lab waits for their new windows, Anderson says people have stepped up to help.

This cell phone video shows the volunteers who cleaned up on Sunday afternoon.

By Monday afternoon, baristas were busy with customers.

Anderson says it's that neighborhood support that keeps them afloat.

"I feel like this community loves us here and we love being here, part of the community. That's why we wanted to be open today. So, that people that come here and use this as their third space, that this is open and available for them,"

Component has set up a GoFundMe page to help with repairs. Click here if you'd like to support.
