Pastor Lamont Hobbs, the store's owner, said a man captured in surveillance video destroyed suits and tuxedos with bleach.

Initially, Hobbs estimated the damage to the tuxedos at $6,000. However, during an interview with CBS 6 two days after the incident, Vaughan discovered more damaged suits in the back of the store, increasing the estimated cost to $12,000.
