A newspaper article:

In 2002 liep het wederom uit de hand toen een Aziatische winkelier werd omgebracht, nadat verkopers bij de politie hadden geklaagd dat zwarte bendes het op hun toko’s hadden voorzien.

Explanation:
Toko's are shops where original asiatic products are sold, i.e. import shops. I think just 'shops' will do in this context.
