Video shows thieves crash stolen car into Southern California retail shop
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) – Store surveillance cameras captured the moment several thieves used a reportedly stolen vehicle to smash into an Inglewood shoe store Wednesday.
The owner of LAX Premiere Kicks in Inglewood, Michael Acevedo, told KTLA in an email that the break-in happened in the early morning hours.
Footage of the incident shows at least one suspect crashing the vehicle through the front of the store, sending shattered glass and the shop’s apparel flying. The driver immediately exits the car and begins grabbing items from the shop.
Moments after the crash, another vehicle pulls into the parking lot and another two suspects exit and run into the shop.
It’s unclear just exactly how much stolen property the smash-and-grab crew, all of whom appear to be young men, got away with, but the store, located at 4940 W. Century Blvd., sustained heavy damage during the break-in.
Acevedo called the burglary disappointing and said that ever since SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome opened, break-ins have been at an all-time high.
“This is our fourth robbery in a year,” he added.
It does not appear that any arrests have been made in connection with the costly break-in.
KTLA has reached out to the Inglewood Police Department and are awaiting a response.
