A robber using a sledgehammer to break the glass of a retail store. LOS ANGELES () — Smash-and-grab robberies are still emerging across California, despite statewide efforts to crack down to protect retailers. Most recently, a group of five to six men robbed a Macy's at the Northridge Mall around 11 a.m. Sunday, police said. The Los Angeles Police Department said the group used hammers to smash displays stealing up to $20,000 worth of cologne and other items. The suspects weren't arrested. Police said they were last seen driving off in a black Infinity with no plates.
