Thieves Use Sledgehammer to Break Into Optometry Office

Burglars used a sledgehammer to break into an optometry office in Los Angeles, police say.

They broke the front window at Runway Optometry in the Playa Vista neighborhood at 3:20 a.m. Thursday, CBSLA reports.

A surveillance video showed two male suspects, one of whom was wearing a mask.

They ransacked the store and made off with “thousands of dollars worth” of eyewear, according to the report. That amounted to most of the merchandise in the shop.

The thieves left in a small sedan, police said.

Police continue to investigate.
