Thief Uses Shopping Cart to Smash Into Hollywood Cellphone Store

LOS ANGELES, CA — A suspect employed an unconventional and destructive method to break into a Hollywood cellphone store early Thursday morning. Surveillance video captured the entire incident, showing the individual using a metal shopping cart to smash through the front glass entrance.

The footage shows the suspect pushing the shopping cart forcefully against the glass panes multiple times until the door shattered. Once inside the store, the burglar quickly moved through the showroom, targeting high-value display smartphones, tablets, and electronic accessories.

The shop owner was alerted by the security system, but by the time authorities arrived, the suspect had already fled with a significant amount of merchandise. "It is shocking to see how brazen these criminals are. Using a shopping cart in the middle of Hollywood to break a heavy glass door is unbelievable," the store manager said.

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the commercial burglary. Detectives are reviewing the surveillance footage to identify the suspect and determine if this individual is linked to other recent retail break-ins in the Hollywood area. Local businesses are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
