In the early hours of August 22, 2024, a smoke shop located at the intersection of Owensmouth Avenue and Devonshire Street in Chatsworth became the target of yet another burglary. The incident, which occurred around 1:30 a.m., involved multiple suspects who rammed a stolen pickup truck into the storefront, causing significant damage.
The perpetrators abandoned the stolen vehicle, leaving it running behind the shop, and made their escape in a white SUV with stolen goods. This is not the first time this business has been hit. The shop had already experienced a break-in previously, as evidenced by the door, which had been hastily reinforced with wood after the last burglary.
Local authorities are investigating the incident, and the community is urged to remain vigilant as they search for the suspects involved in this recurring crime.
