The Los Angeles Police Department reported to the crime scene at approximately 1:48 a.m. on a Saturday following an alert about the incident.
Footage from the store's security system reveals the moments an SUV smashed through the front of the store. The culprits then entered the store and quickly scoured the area for valuables.
The proprietor of the jewelry store, choosing to remain anonymous, commented on the minimal loot “We have to redo the floors, redo the cabinets because they were smashed for no reason. There was nothing in them,” the owner said, per a report published in ABC. “They just don’t care, so it impacts us both financially and mentally.”
The store, a staple in the community, has been operating for over 30 years.
At the time of the report, police had not identified any suspects. The store owner, however, revealed that the SUV used in the robbery was stolen and later discovered abandoned in proximity to the crime scene.
