Surveillance video obtained by Fox News Digital shows the moments a band of three masked burglars smashed their way into a California luxury handbag store earlier this week, leading to hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise.
On Sunday, just before 4 a.m., The Bella Abby and Ava Boutique in Newport Beach fell victim to a heist during which three thieves were caught on camera breaking through the store’s front door and stuffing garbage bags full of high-end purses before driving off.
"They went right to the Chanels. They wiped out all of those. Then they grabbed all of the Hermès, and then they just started throwing things down," owner Jennifer Sprenger store’s layout and security measures.
"They knew where the lights were," Sprenger added, according to ABC 7. "They shut off the video cameras. They turned cameras. How would they know where all this was? It's like it was a very well thought-out, planned attack."
Sprenger has hired a private investigator to help locate the burglars and is reportedly offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to their arrest.
"I really tried to do everything I could to protect the facility, but these people just knew what they were doing," Sprenger told the outlet. "They're not first timers, there is no doubt about it."
