After a rash of smash-and-grab robberies downtown early this summer, Los Angeles police say another smash-and-grab, in which watches valued at $350,000 were taken, may signal that robbery crews are becoming active again.
The latest came Saturday afternoon in Chinatown when five men in masks or hooded sweatshirts smashed counters at Chong Hing Jewelry on Hill Street and made off with the watches, according to an LAPD report.
The suspects also stunned employees with pepper spray and took a .45-caliber pistol off a store security guard, according to the report.
They drove off in a black car, either a Kia or a Toyota Tercel, with paper plates.
