In the latest series of incidents entailing gang robberies in California, a massive smash and grab incident has led to thieves swiping away high-end products that were reportedly worth more than $25,000.
According to local media reports, the robbery gangs in California have struck again and they’re managing to do it with careful planning without getting caught.
In this recent horrifying event, a huge gang attacked one security guard positioned outside a store by putting bear spray in his face.
Officials went on to speak about how five robbers entered the store, with one donning a distinctive and very noticeable orange-hued wig. The store was identified to be Nordstrom which is situated in Canoga Park, at about 6:45 pm in the evening.
This is known to be the latest in a plague that entails the terrifying smash-and-grab raids that have troubled California in the past week.
Right after they went on spraying the security guard, they also managed to snatch up to eight high-end and very expensive handbags, as they went on fleeing for a quick escape in their new model grey-colored Ford Mustang, as mentioned in local media reports.
After the incident took place, a number of police cruising vehicles, ambulances, and fire trucks rushed to the scene and could be spotted outside the store. However, cops have confirmed that as of now, no immediate arrests have taken place.
The security guard wounded in the incident was immediately treated by a team of paramedics located at the scene, explained the officials.
Surprisingly, robbery gangs have also managed to rob Nordstrom of its products in the past too, and this is probably the third time that they have managed to do it with absolute success.
One of the chains was also recently targeted last week on Saturday, where wild video footage showed around 90 looters entering the branch on Walnut Creek and making a getaway within minutes of committing the crime.
