Smash-and-grab thieves, using a pickup truck, crashed into J-Bees and J-Bees Kids clothing store at 14469 Gratiot Ave on Detroit's east side around 5 a.m. Monday, making off with an estimated $90,000 in clothing and other merchandise, WXYZ reports.
Security video shows at least 10 people participating in the break-in after smashing the window and the security gate.
Owner Waheed Ahmed told WXYZ he saw the burglary in real time on surveillance video via his cell phone and called 911. He said it's the second time in six months that his store has been robbed—and in more than two decades, it's happened about eight or nine times.
No arrests have been made.
“I'm disturbed and disappointed. And it’s definitely hurting me,” Ahmed told WXYZ. “I've been doing business here a long time—about 27 years in this location. This is a tough time, and during this tough time, this kind of thing is setting us so far back.”
