Yesterday morning, amidst the holiday shopping rush, Atlanta police were called to the scene of a potential smash-and-grab at a Lululemon store located in the upscale West Midtown shopping district known as Westside Provisions District, this commercial hub, with its blend of boutiques, eateries, and outfitters, was disturbed by the sound of shattering glass and the disarray that greeted officers upon arrival at the popular retailer specializing in athletic wear.
Upon their arrival, officers were greeted with the sight of a shattered front door and the shards that remained; the store, which had not yet opened for the day, became a site of meticulous investigation, as crime scene investigators swabbed for any lingering trace of the perpetrators—yet, amid their search, the extent of potentially pilfered merchandise remained unclear, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Meanwhile, a nearby business owner shared a similar experience, describing how a group stole a vehicle and crashed it through their storefront, as recounted to FOX 5 Atlanta. Atlanta police have yet to reveal suspects in the case, continuing their inquiry into the chain of events that unfolded on Howell Mill Road; however, they have implored any person holding knowledge pertinent to this incident to step forward.
