Alleged intruders are inside the former Laughing Buddha tattoo parlor and reportedly trashing the store and/or throwing things around inside, says a caller to the emergency dispatch center. A rep from building owner Mancuso Properties is en route along with city police.
The store is located on Ellicott Street in the City of Batavia.
An officer on scene reports there are two people inside. An officer asks dispatch to contact former store operator Jason Lang.
UPDATE 10:09 p.m. (by Howard): Free-lance journalist Alecia Kaus went to the scene. It appears there was a misunderstanding over a display counter inside the former store. Another business owner claims he still owns the counter and was removing it. The property owner showed up and wouldn't let the person remove the counter. Authorities were unable to contact Lang to help resolve the issue, so the property claim is being held over until tomorrow.
