Community Rallies After Break-Ins at Local Businesses

Early Friday morning, the peaceful atmosphere of 4S Ranch was shattered when an individual smashed their way into Ponce's Mexican Restaurant using a sledgehammer. The suspect didn't just break the door; they broke the trust and safety that our community holds dear. In a shocking turn of events, within just twenty minutes of this brazen act, Mostra Coffee also fell victim to this criminal spree.
