The owners of Solez, a recently opened shoe store in La Cañada Flintridge, say they are frustrated after being the victim of a second break-in in a week.
The first break-in occurred last Thursday and the second on Monday morning. The owners say the thieves broke a glass door to get into the house and then fled with a cash register, cash, a tablet and merchandise.
“We have to close for a few days … obviously that’s not good for our customers,” one owner, who declined to disclose his identity, told KTLA 5’s Kimberly Cheng. “We want protection. We want to feel safe. I don’t want to have to wake up, and my neighbors don’t want to wake up at three or six in the morning and worry about their business and their property. Something they’ve worked so hard for.”
The owners said they hired private security after the first break-in, but the thieves struck just minutes after the security guard left early Monday morning.
Investigators believe the thieves arrived with two stolen cars, a red Hyundai and a silver Kia, one of which was left at the scene.
A description of the suspects was not available.
