Thieves ram stolen truck into West Hollywood luxury store in smash-and-grab burglary

Burglars used a stolen pickup truck to smash into a luxury clothing resale store in West Hollywood Friday morning before fleeing the scene, according to authorities.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that multiple men wearing black clothing used a stolen pickup truck to smash through the front window of The RealReal store around 1:30 a.m. at Melrose Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard.

The thieves fled the scene in multiple vehicles, officials said. Deputies are still at the scene and investigating. No further information was immediately available Friday morning.

Video from the scene showed shirts, pants and shoes strewn across the sidewalk in front of the store. A red pickup truck was also abandoned at the scene.

It’s unclear how much merchandise was stolen.

Authorities are investigating another smash-and-grab at an Eagle Rock 7-Eleven, in which a truck was used to ram into the store and suspects stole an ATM, ABC7 reported. It’s unclear if the incidents are related.
