A downtown Portland boutique was vandalized late Thursday night, just two months after another break-in.

N’Kossi Boutique de’l Afrique, a clothing store on Southwest Harvey Milk Boulevard, had its front display window broken. Intruders vandalized the store, knocked over mannequins and took clothing and jewelry worth about $3,000, according to store owner Jean Pierre Nugloze. The store was closed Friday while employees cleaned up, he said.

Nugloze said he had just had a window repaired from a previous break-in in November, which cost about $1,800.

“It makes me sad — I don’t know who’s doing this,” he said.

He said police are investigating and that a nearby store has security cameras, but they have not yet reviewed footage.

Portland Police Sgt. Kevin Allen said it’s not yet clear what kind of object intruders used to break the window.

N’Kossi sells West African art, decor, clothing and jewelry, according to the boutique’s website.

Allen said there is no immediate indication that the break-in is a hate crime but said police are still investigating.

Nugloze said he didn’t know whether someone was targeting him but said it concerned him that this was the second burglary in such a short time.

“I don’t know what’s going on,” he said. “I just can’t tell.”
