Santa Rosa, California (Crohn) – Thieves groups target camera stores all over the San Francisco Bay area.
The Santa Rosa cameras store targeted a large group that practiced Crawbares, which stormed a rear door before dawn on Wednesday. The owner of the Shutterbug camera said that people ran inside and raised about $ 10,000 of goods.
This was the second time in two weeks that were stolen.
Thieves went through the back door because the front door was still independent of the first devastating robbery. During the storming of March 21, a stolen car group criticized the front doors, shattered many shows, and stole nearly $ 100,000 of camera equipment within minutes.
During the robbery on Wednesday, “Ten criminals in three stolen cars came to the front from the store with a large chain ready to storm at the front. After they found that the rocks in the front are strengthened in place, and that the windows remain on board, they went to the rear entrance. After a few minutes they managed to arrive.
Police told Kron4.
Shutterbug, Mike Pashki, was crying on Thursday. He told Kron4 that the pulling operations caused the 57 -year -old store to be closed forever.
Community personnel donated $ 14,000 Through the gofundme page To help rebuild Shutterbug and recover. “It was very emotional. Our support for society really encouraged us to continue and helped us,” said Bashki.
Earlier this week, the San Rafael cameras store, which has been a center of photographers since 1947, was transported. Thieves hit a car through the Seawood front window and stole between $ 40,000 to $ 50,000 in the equipment. Flash, a beloved cat living in the store, was afraid and was shaken by the storming, but it is not authorized.
Seawood photo owners wrote, “We are more than a store; we are home to artists, stories and rulers. Almost daily, someone walks, and is surprised by the presence of a place like Seawood. We will do his best to keep this distinctive place alive and for future generations.”
