Early Friday morning, a sneaker shop in Los Angeles's Fairfax District became the latest target of a brazen smash-and-grab burglary, with the incident captured on surveillance video. ABC7 reports that the footage shows a car violently crashing through the storefront of Solestage at the intersection of Fairfax and Rosewood avenues, immediately followed by at least three individuals leaping out to plunder the store.
The perpetrators forcefully entered the premises with a blue Toyota Camry, which was used to shatter the store's gates, after which they rapidly removed merchandise from the shelves and shoved it into an oversized plastic bag, as reported by CBS Los Angeles. Authorities are yet to determine precisely how much merchandise was taken in the heist.
The store's façade was noticeably damaged as the burglars executed their smash-and-grab, raising concerns among local business owners about the surge in such crimes. At present, the suspects remain at large, described as individuals wearing hoodies and masks to obscure their identities. The Los Angeles Police Department actively seeks any leads that may result in their apprehension.
