Overview
- Police say a smash-and-grab crew hit the Macy’s at Westfield Fashion Square, prompting a shelter-in-place for shoppers.
- The order ended within an hour with no injuries reported after many inside mistook the sound of breaking cases for gunfire.
- Thieves smashed display cases with sledgehammers or power tools, took jewelry and watches, and fled in a white Lexus seen on Riverside Drive.
- No arrests have been announced as investigators sort out conflicting reports on the suspect count, with outlets citing two or three masked people.
- A nearby shop, The Toy Mandala, was burglarized twice this week for high-value Pokémon cards and a safe, and police say those break-ins likely are not linked to the mall robbery.
