Shoppers at Fashion Island Tuesday say the most recent robbery makes them nervous.
"As women, we’re a little bit nervous going shopping by ourselves now," said Terri Reed, a shopper.
"It should be a place for families to come together and relax," said Ciena Long, a shopper. "It’s kind of disturbing we have to watch our backs [now]."
Mall security could be seen on patrol Tuesday afternoon. In addition, a Newport Beach police car was parked in the parking lot. Shoppers told FOX 11 they’d like to see more security following the recent violence.
"It’s horrible," said Michael Leary, a shopper. "[Crime] is becoming a common thing now."
