HAYWARD, Calif. (CNN) – A jewelry store is among the latest victims in a string of mob robberies in California’s Bay Area.
Witnesses say a large group of people caused a disturbance in Southland Mall Sunday about 30 minutes before it was set to close at 6:00 p.m.
Then, up to 50 people armed with hammers and other tools entered a jewelry store where they smashed glass cases and stole merchandise.
They also hit a Macy’s store in the mall.
About an hour later, a group entered a Lululemon store in nearby San Jose and stole merchandise.
It’s not known if it was the same group.
Earlier in the weekend, robberies occurred at a Louis Vuitton store, a Nordstrom, and several marijuana dispensaries.
So far, no arrests have been made.
