Smash-and-grab burglars hit Woodstock Nike outlet

The area’s newest outlet mall became the newest victim of smash-and-grab thieves early Thursday when burglars smashed their way into the Nike store at the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta in Woodstock.

Officers responding to a 1:10 a.m. alarm call at the store on Ridgewalk Parkway at I-575 found a large window shattered, according to Brittany Duncan, Woodstock police spokeswoman.

The Nike outlet is the second-largest store in the complex, which opened in July 2013.

The value of the merchandise taken from the store has not yet been determined, Duncan said.

Police released surveillance photos of the suspects Thursday afternoon. They believe five people were involved and that the suspects arrived and departed in two separate vehicles.

Anyone with information on the crime should call the Woodstock Police Department’s Tip Line at 770-592-6021. Callers can remain anonymous.
