PORTLAND, Ore. — N'Kossi Boutique, a store based around African Art, decor, and fashion, was broken into Thursday morning.
This is the third time the store has been broken into and vandalized, and the second time in the last two months.
Komi Jean-Pierre Nugloze, the store's owner, said the front window was smashed and several pieces of jewelry were stolen.
Portland police said they are still investigating the break-in.
A Gofundme campaign to repair the window and install cameras and other security measures has been launched by Susan Towers, a Portland public relations specialist who has taken up N'Kossi's case.
Towers believes the store has been targeted. "For a small business owner this is devastating!" she said, in a post on the Gofundme page.
