The family said the alleged thieves contributed to a loss of $30,000 between stolen items and damage to the store.

Multiple citations were issued for the street takeover, but no arrests were made for the burglary, as deputies could not link anyone on scene directly to the break-in.
THIEF USES WAYMO AS A GETAWAY CAR
Days before the A-Z Market break-in, 26 suspects carried out a coordinated, mob-style burglary at another business in East Los Angeles.
Thieves allegedly broke into an AutoZone, causing costly damage and losses. Investigators believe the suspects robbed the store two days in a row.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
