In Orinda, California, a consignment store experienced a brazen smash-and-grab robbery involving five masked men who used pepper spray on staff and customers. Witnesses reported the robbers swung hammers to break glass display cases, stealing substantial amounts of gold. Despite being right across from a police station and near a busy farmers market, the crime was executed swiftly. Surveillance footage may help identify the suspects, who allegedly fled in a grey SUV. A GoFundMe campaign has been initiated to assist with the store's damages not covered by insurance.
We’ve been in business 25 years and never had this happen before. We're totally wired with all the devices. Five people rushed into our showroom with masks and hoodies.
I was showing a nice customer a rug by the front door and my first thought was being hit, and they sprayed me with pepper spray.
One of our staff was in the back pressing our panic button, that’s why the police were here so quickly.
The suspects car sped onto westbound Highway 24 through the tunnel.
