A "large group" of burglars ransacked a shoe store in Santa Clara on Sunday, the second time in less than a week that the business was raided by thieves.
The burglary is the latest in a spree of smash-and-grab incidents throughout the Bay Area over recent weeks.
Santa Clara police said they received a call at approximately 11:29 p.m. on Sunday of a "large group of subjects" burglarizing a retail store on the 200 block of El Camino Real.
The store was later identified as the shoe outlet "The Fix Kicks."
KPIX reported there were between 25 to 30 suspects involved and while the value of the stolen goods is unknown, the station reported that at least a pair of Air Jordan sneakers worth over $1000 dollars was taken.
Officers arrived as suspects fled the scene in multiple vehicles.
Authorities noted the same store was burglarized by approximately 15 to 30 suspects on Nov. 23 at 1:15 a.m. No injuries have been reported in either case, and no suspects have been arrested.
The store announced on Instagram that due to "unfortunate events" they were closed on Monday and don’t know when they will reopen again. "Thank you for all your understanding and thank you all for the support through the good times and the bad," the store wrote.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Santa Clara Police Department at 408-615-4818 or leave an anonymous tip at 408-615-4847.
