A business in Los Angeles’ Fairfax District was hit by thieves who drove a vehicle through the storefront and stole merchandise less than 24 hours after KTLA reported on a string of burglaries employing the same technique in the area.
Information from Los Angeles Police Department Officer Madison indicates that units were dispatched to the area of Melrose and Martel avenues around 3:50 a.m. Tuesday on reports of a truck crashing into a building.
After appearing to deliberately crash the black 4-door truck into the storefront, two suspects entered and took an unknown amount of merchandise, Madison said. They fled the area on foot before officers arrived at the scene.
A burglary report was taken, Officer Madison added. No further details were released.
The store targeted on Tuesday morning appears to be Relevance, which sells a “curated selection of highly desired luxury goods,” its Instagram page states.
It had its grand opening a month ago, according to social media.
