SHERMAN OAKS (CNS) – A group of alleged armed robbers are on the loose Thursday after a smash-and-grab robbery at a Macy’s store at the Westfield Fashion Square shopping mall in Sherman Oaks, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
LAPD officers were called at 7:08 p.m. Wednesday to the 14000 block of Riverside Drive regarding a robbery. When the officers arrived at the mall, they learned at least three masked suspects armed with sledgehammers began smashing display cases at the department store and stole watches and jewelry before running out of the store, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
Police said the suspects drove away in a white Lexus.
The robbers stole around $5,000 worth of merchandise, the LAPD spokesman said.
A shelter-in-place order was issued for all other shoppers at the mall subsequent to the robbery and it was lifted by 8 p.m. Wednesday. No injuries were reported.
