ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A local business trying to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic is also battling a tenacious thief and they have plenty of videos of him at work. Like a lot of business owners these days, LaVista Rowan is battling to keep the doors of her uniform store, Rowan Apparel, open. "We are a small business, with COVID, we lost our neighbor to the south here, a restaurant owner had to close their business," said Rowan.

Sunday night, they faced a new problem when a thief used a crowbar to break into the store at Montgomery and Pennsylvania. He made off with boots, jackets, and duffel bags. All of it caught on video. "We'd like to grow our business, and having someone come and try to take that away from us is just ugly, and not right," Rowan said.
