HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Surveillance video from inside a Hollywood T-Mobile store captured some crooks ramming a truck into it before running in and grabbing thousands of dollars worth of products.
Hollywood Police released the footage Tuesday, which showed the back of a Ford F-250 reversing into the cellphone store along North 48th Avenue and Sheridan Street at around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
After the two subjects broke the glass, they ran inside the store and grabbed about $5,000 worth of merchandise that was on display.
“Crazy. I don’t know. Why would you do that?” said customer Gordon Holmes. “What did they gain from it?”
According to police, the duo got away with two Apple watches, an iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, JBL speakers, a Samsung Note 8 and a Samsung Galaxy 9.
“In under two minutes, they stole about $5,000 worth of merchandise in that store,” said Hollywood Police spokesperson Miranda Grossman.
7News showed the video of the robbery to a resident in the area who said, “I think it’s very dangerous and scary.”
“I’m not surprised, ’cause this always happens,” added another area resident.
Another group in Hialeah Gardens has done a similar type of burglary at a T-Mobile in the last few weeks on May 10.
Police said the two robberies may be connected.
“If that truck looks familiar, if someone was driving by the T-Mobile at 3:30 in the morning or notice anything unusual at the time, please call detectives,” said Hollywood Police spokesperson Miranda Grossman.
Officials said part of the tag from the vehicle driven into the store is JCE.
If you have any information on this burglary, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
