Smoke shop in Southern California hit by vandals in bizarre incident

An investigation is underway after a smoke and vape shop in San Bernardino County was allegedly vandalized by six people, including two very young juveniles.

Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of the vandalism at My Generation Smoke & Vape at 14666 7th Street in Victorville at around 7 p.m., officials confirmed to KTLA.  

The shop’s manager, Hasan Zaqqa, explained that an adult female entered the shop to purchase some products before asking for free merchandise.  

Zaqqa said that when the shop’s employees said they couldn’t give away any items for free, the woman exited the store, went to her car and reportedly told around five other people to enter the shop and confront store employees.

Security cameras captured much of the incident, including at least two children, getting out of the car, entering the store and confronting the employees. As the group was leaving, several of them pushed over display cases on the counter, while another one grabbed an item from the store and threw it.  

That’s when Zaqqa said he grabbed a stick, ran out of the store and tried to get them to leave.

It appears from security footage that he was swinging the stick at the vandals’ vehicle as it drove forward and then came to another stop as everyone exited the car and headed back to the shop’s entrance where Zaqqa and another employee were seen inside.  

At that point, the woman, as well as the man who had been driving the vehicle, attempted to confront the store’s employees and ultimately began smashing the shop’s doors and windows.  

The suspects fled the area before deputies arrived and remain outstanding.  

The relationship between the group of people who entered and allegedly vandalized the store is unknown at this time.
