BURBANK, Calif. (TMX) – Police are investigating after a large burglary crew rammed a truck into a popular sneaker and streetwear retailer in Burbank, Calif., last week.
Surveillance video shared by The Magnolia Park, also known as The Mag Park, on Magnolia Boulevard shows a crew of masked suspects gathered outside the store at around 1:40 a.m. on May 11.
Suspects gather empty bins while the driver of a pickup truck attempts to reverse toward the store. Multiple lampposts and what appears to be a concrete bench block most avenues for vehicles to drive up onto the sidewalk. The driver attempts to squeeze the truck between lampposts but fails.
The driver tries another spot, and backs the truck into the bench, pushing it out of the way. The truck then rams into the glass doors of The Mag Park.
The thieves rush in with the empty bins, and return loaded with merchandise. Per reports, the burglars grabbed more than $70,000 worth of goods. They fled in multiple vehicles waiting along side streets.
“This morning was quite a surprise, but there’s a blessing somewhere inside it all,” owner and founder Miki Guerra wrote on Instagram. “Regarding the 10 people who needed our products more than we did, I pray it serves and fulfills your needs.”
The Burbank Police Department is investigating.
