$100,000 Worth of Sneakers Stolen From Bellflower Popular Store; Robbers Used Govt. Car for Burglary
Bellflower, CA: A robbery at a Bellflower store left the owner in dismay after the robbers stole $100,000 worth of sneakers from his store.
The thieves took about $100,000 worth of shoes, clothes, and other goods from the store in a Bellflower shopping center early Sunday morning.
The owner, Deshawn J. Snelson, says that at 4:45 a.m., security cameras in the store caught a gray sedan repeatedly crashing into the front of the store. Then, he says, 15 people rush in and grab everything they can take.
The robbers left the car, in which they arrived, on the scene after the robbery. The owner found the car inside the store when he opened his store on Sunday morning.
The store is located at the Lakewood Boulevard shopping center. The car, as he said, is supposed to be a govt vehicle.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the four-door Hyundai Sonata had government plates and was likely used by a U.S. military recruiting station, though no reports of thefts of cars like that had been made yet.
The authorities are looking for the suspects and no arrests have been made so far.
