Atlanta police Thursday were investigating a smash-and-grab burglary at a clothing boutique in the heart of the Virginia-Highland business district.
The thieves used a brick to shatter the front door of the 310 Rosemont store on North Highland Avenue just north of Virginia Avenue shortly before 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said security video showed three people wearing jackets, hats and masks to hide their identities entering the store and taking various clothing items before getting into a waiting vehicle.
Jones told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the burglars were inside the store for just one minute.
“There are multiple businesses in the area with surveillance equipment,” she said. “Hopefully more information on the suspects can be gathered during the follow-up investigation.”
