Pennsylvania authorities have disclosed details of a daring smash-and-grab incident at a Lululemon store, captured on surveillance footage. The video shows two masked individuals wielding a sledgehammer to execute the overnight break-in.

According to the Lower Merion Police, the suspects, who made multiple trips to grab armfuls of merchandise, were seen fleeing the scene in a U-Haul truck, as reported by Fox 29 Philadelphia.

This brazen theft took place just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday at the Ardmore shopping center. The thieves made off with approximately $5,000 worth of merchandise.

In the police-released video, the two suspects, dressed entirely in black, are seen smashing what appears to be a sledgehammer into the store’s glass entrance. With no hesitation, they rushed through the opening and headed straight for the men’s section, targeting winter coats and shirts.

The suspects appeared to grab entire racks of puffer jackets and sweatshirts before returning outside. The video then shows the men returning to the store a second time after dropping off the stolen items to take even more merchandise.

The footage shows the heist lasted roughly five minutes.

The thieves fled after loading the stolen merchandise into the bed of a U-Haul pickup truck parked outside, Fox 29 reported.

By the afternoon, the store had reopened, but the front door’s glass remained shattered, with a large banner placed in front of the entrance, the local station reported. 

According to an employee from another business nearby, Tuesday’s incident was not the first time the Lululemon store was targeted. 

“I walked out here with my bartender, and we looked, and it’s scary that it’s happening right across the way from us,” Gina Picciano, general manager of Lola’s Garden, told Fox 29.

Last year, Picciano said, a theft occurred during store hours. 

“All of the sudden, a bunch of people were just running out with armfuls of stuff. So, it happens in broad daylight,” Picciano added. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s night or day, and that’s crazy.”

The Lower Merion Police told Fox 29 that delayed alarm alerts can delay response times, emphasizing crime prevention and partnerships with merchants.

“Sometimes there’s a delay in receiving these calls with Lululemon because their operations center, they’re the ones that receive the video and the alarm,” Superintendent of Police Andy Block said. “Prevention here is the key for this, and we’re always concerned about the criminal element coming into our communities. And our officers work all the time to try to prevent this. We want to work with our merchants to try to make our community safer.”
