Overview
- Identity-ATL was breached just before 5 a.m. Wednesday when three masked men drove a rented U-Haul through the store’s brick wall to force entry.
- The thieves quickly ransacked the high-end streetwear shop, grabbed clothing, left a pile of rubble and fled in a white pickup truck.
- No injuries were reported, but owner Rod Thomas said he was 'speechless' and distraught when he arrived after an alarm company alerted him.
- Atlanta police have not released suspect descriptions or a value for the stolen goods and say reviewing nearby surveillance footage is their primary lead.
- Local business owners said the raid shook a normally safe block on Walker Street SW and the method — vehicle ramming to smash entry — could prompt changes to storefront security and police patrols.
