Inglewood, CA – A local sneaker shop, LAX Premier Kicks, was the victim of a daylight robbery for the third time in just three months. Surveillance footage captured the dramatic scene, showing thieves using a stolen vehicle to barrel through the front of the store.
The incident occurred during the early morning hours, as captured by the store's surveillance cameras. The video reveals at least one suspect crashing a car into the storefront, shattering glass and sending merchandise flying. Almost immediately, the driver exited the vehicle and began grabbing items, while two additional suspects arrived in another car, rushing into the store to join in the theft.
Store owner Michael Acevedo estimates that the thieves made off with around $20,000 worth of sneakers and other merchandise, leaving the shop at 4940 W. Century Blvd. with significant damage.
“This is our fourth robbery in a year,” said Acevedo, expressing his frustration over the recent spike in crime since the openings of SoFi Stadium and the Intuit Dome. “It’s disappointing to see this level of criminal activity in the community.”
The authorities have not reported any arrests in connection with this latest incident, leaving the community and business owners concerned about safety and security.
