The owner of the shop says around $70,000 worth of Items were stolen in the raid which occurred at around 1:30 am on Thursday morning. 

Despite the store having  security precautions in place including a metal shutter and a concrete seating area outside, specifically designed to prevent such occurrences, the crooks were able to break through. 

The criminals were persistent in their efforts, and despite having to back into the premises several times, they were eventually successful. 

At least 10 thugs were captured on video ramming a stolen pickup truck into a the front of a high-end store in Burbank at around 1:30am

Owner, Miki Guerra is urging people to purchase something from the website for them to begin to make a recovery from such a loss.

During the day, the store was seen being patched up with wooden boards nailed into position while the owner considers what to do next. 

Although there is no question of the store shutting down, the owner, Miki Guerra is urging people to purchase something from the website for them to begin to make a recovery from such a loss. He says it will take several days to patch things up.

‘It seems like they had an idea of what they wanted to grab. They grabbed a lot of clothes and we carry a lot of premium items, things that typically sell out at retailers,’ owner Guerra said to KTLA. 

‘It was honestly, I would say, impressive that they were able to pull it off, especially at the size of their group.’ 

Surveillance camera footage shows up to 10 hooded robbers, dashing into the store and running out with whatever they were able to carry. Some could be seen dragging bags and boxes full of loot. The entire raid was over within 10 minutes with the suspects fleeing in several vehicles.

Further investigation revealed the truck had been reported stolen,’ Burbank Police revealed in a statement.
