A neighbor says he witnessed a group of men crash a U-Haul into a downtown Atlanta clothing and shoe store to steal merchandise.
The crash happened Wednesday morning on Walker Street. Blake Corman, who lives in the area, sent in video of the damage to Identity ATL’s storefront.
Corman says he heard a boom around 4:45 a.m. and saw the U-Haul truck back into the building. He says he then saw at least three men enter the store and steal merchandise before they drove off in another vehicle.
“I mean it was like a movie, I look out the window and see this U-Haul just like backing up,” Corman told Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach. “I just think it’s non-sensical that this degree of damage had to happen for people to get a few dollars and now many people are going to suffer as a result.”
The owner told Gehlbach he was too upset to go on camera. He’s taking inventory of what was taken and checking to see if his surveillance cameras caught what happened when thieves were inside the store.
