Overview
- The owners say the store was broken into on two consecutive nights this week, with suspects smashing a front-door glass panel to steal power tools, batteries and cash.
- Surveillance clips from both incidents were posted publicly and Redondo Beach Police detectives are reviewing the footage with no arrests reported so far.
- Published estimates of the losses conflict across outlets, with one report citing about $20,000 and others near $40,000, and the exact total remains unverified.
- After the first break-in the store restocked shelves and had its alarm company upgrade protections, but burglars returned and owners are now asking the public for tips.
- The manager says this is the fourth time the shop has been targeted in five years and warns the thefts will affect the store’s budget, hiring and reinvestment ahead of its biggest weekend of the year.
