Surveillance video shows the moments brazen, hooded, criminals use a GMC pick-up truck to break into a corner store at 106th Street and South Torrence Avenue minutes before 5:30 a.m.
In the video, you can see the men using a chain, to tear down the store’s front gate, before smashing their way inside.
From inside the store, you can see at least two of the masked thieves running in, jumping the counter and ripping out the cash register all in less than a minute.
The store’s owner said the criminals tried to steal the ATM, but were unsuccessful because it’s chained down.
Sadly, the owner said this is the second time in just over a month his store was burglarized, resulting in thousands of dollars in property damage.
