FRESNO, Calif. ( KSEE/KGPE ) – A brazen break-in at a Fresno shoe store was all for nothing after the owner says he was already a step ahead of the people who tried to rob his business.
Locally-owned DripOnDrip was boarded up on Monday after what was described as a “shocking” break-in earlier in the morning.

“Seeing the building that you’re working out of almost every day…just be damaged. It’s shocking,” said owner Roman Gonzales.
Security camera footage shows two sedans driving up to the front of the store just after 3 a.m. One of those cars rammed through the front of the store.
The footage shows several people getting out of both cars and running inside. It then shows them looking around confused and leaving the store around 30 seconds later.
“If they would have looked through the window, they would have saved themselves some time and energy from even trying to break in,” said Gonzales. “They would have noticed that there is nothing here on the floor for them to take.”
