California smash-and-grabbers use hammers to steal $100K in jewelry
Shocking video shows a smash-and-grab gang using hammers to take over a California shopping center — allegedly swiping around $100,000 of jewelry after threatening customers and staff.
The footage shows the gang of nine suddenly swarming La Placita Tropicana shopping center in San Jose with the hammers already in their hands.
Customers and staff were terrified as the gang screamed at them to “Get on the ground!,” one of the owners told the Mercury News.
The footage from Jan. 3 shows the gang spreading out and smashing glass displays while others run around throwing jewelry into bags — completely ignoring a female staffer who runs out and appears to try to stop them.
They suddenly flee, chased by staffers carrying two of the dropped hammers — just 30 seconds after they’d first stormed inside.

Owners should apologize for making it hard for them to steal the items.
How else are they going to finance their move to Texas?
If I had a hammer
I’d hammer in the morning
I’d hammer in the evening
All over this land
I’d hammer out danger
I’d hammer out a warning
I’d hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Or, maybe I would smash and grab some other people’s valuables and run away.
Hmmmm, bunch of white boys, dressed like Antifa. Wonder who they are.
They are planning on paying taxes on the stolen merchandise right> IRS wants to make sure they do. (Such stupid idiocy).
I vaguely remember a news story a few weeks ago about hardware stolen by thugs including wrecking bars and hammers. Police said they were worried the reason was future robberies.
Could have been to tear down slums and build new homes and businesses for homeless people.
Looks like it wasn’t.
Hmm notice how nice and shiny those hammers were? All of mine are weathered , scratched and dented.
Almost makes me think they are good for nothings that never worked a hard day in their life.
California misdemeanor.
Yeah, those small sledges still had the stickers on them, not a scratch. The fools were swinging them two handed? That’s not how I was taught to use a small sledge. If you’re not strong enough to swing it one handed, you haven’t been using it enough. ;-) Oh well, they left their tools behind - no respect for their tools. I’d guess they didn’t pay for those either.
They’re just learning how to be carpenters and home renovators!renovations!! Why ya’ll FWeepas be racist dawg?
I seriously doubt they have any tools. To be frank we are speaking of the most worthless members of society. In a vast majority of human history many like that would have already been hung, killed in fights or died of disease/starvation by now at their ages. Before the welfare society those types didn’t live long or they changed.
We live in a very odd time that in some ways out miscreants are elevated and rewarded. Look at the sorts BlmTifa rioted over.
Shot gun + Rock Salt = No Jewelry Theft
Keep it simple
maybe put only paste in the display cases...
Ever seen pictures of looted shoe stores? Usually plenty of work boots left behind...
