Surveillance images shared by the store show at least two people inside the market, their faces covered with light-colored cloth, as well as an overturned cash drawer and merchandise scattered across the floor behind the checkout counters.<\/p>\n

“These guys have many identifying tattoos\/features and were wearing yellow Timberlands and black\/white Jordans,” the company said in its statement. “They stole money, products, and caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage.”<\/p>\n

The market’s owners said they are reviewing additional surveillance footage and providing images to the Anaheim Police Department as investigators work to identify those involved.<\/p>\n
