“All signs point to the fact that these suspects have likely been embroiled in other crimes, perhaps different in nature, where they’ve honed their criminal tactics. Their brazenness seems to be escalating,” Leeper said.

According to KABC, the four suspects managed to escape in a black Nissan Altima, model years 2013-2015, with distinct silver and black aftermarket rims. The vehicle had been parked nearby. As of now, the whereabouts of the suspects remain unknown.

Anyone who has information about this incident should inform law enforcement.
