One of the few remaining businesses in Fairfax Village is about to close after they were hit by a crash-and-grab burglary.
The whole ordeal was caught on security video Friday just before dawn at SoleStage on Fairfax Avenue south of Melrose.
"We sell high-priced sought-after items," owner Robert McCleanton told KNX News' Emily Valdez. "Chrome Heart that sells out. Louis Vuitton that sells out, just a lot of streetwear and a lot of hype items that you can't get. People bring them to us and consign them."
The CCTV footage shows three men in a car plow through the store's metal gate. Once inside, they grabbed a quarter of a million dollars worth of merchandise and took off in two other cars waiting outside.
McCleanton said the car left behind in his store was stolen, and as a result of the burglary, he will likely have to shut down operations.
