We believed in so much that we decided to <br />open a small business in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana with hope of a bright future for our family and be a part of a <br />great community. <br />We took the risk and invested all our money, hopes, and dreams in this opportunity in DTSA on 4th Street. We signed <br />our lease for Santa Ana CA 92701 in Feb 2021, and open for business august 2021 as Lava Kitchen Bar and <br />bar. <br />We survived the Covid19 pandemic, and now in the midst of battling through the 4th Street Trolly's construction, and in <br />addition, we got our dream stolen from us. <br />Saturday, September 9th our business was broken into, and someone claimed to be the new owner and that they have <br />a 3 page lease for Santa Ana CA 92701. <br />A person named Christian Gonzalez, whom burglarized and destroyed our business and used force to threaten us if we <br />were to remain on the premises. We've made numerous attempts to contact SAPID, and we were told to leave the <br />premises by the SAPID. <br />Tuesday September 12, police tell them leave but when police left they broke back in again... they disregarded the police <br />Santa Ana. Police case# 23- <br />In shock and confused , we felt helpless and violated. We are still dismayed by what has taken place in our place of <br />business for the past 3 years. <br />We had to close all our licenses and permits to protect our liabilities. As we continue to pay rent and insurance while the <br />trespasser illegally invaded our business and continues to destroy our properties and our personal belongings. <br />A trespasser illegally invaded our work space and, without merit, took our business , destroyed our properties, and <br />demolished our dreams as we watched helplessly. <br />Our family, as victims, obliged to every steps instructed to do so by the Santa Ana Police Department. We hired an <br />attorney and filed every necessary paperwork. At this moment, our family faith our family safety, and our equality and <br />justice are in the hands of the Santa Ana Police De partment and the city of Santa Ana. We're helpless but not hopeless. <br />We believed in the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Police Department. Please help us make this right. <br />Sincerely, <br />Darwin nguyen <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
