PALO ALTO (KRON) — Police say a group of suspected burglars got away with $83,000 worth of merchandise after breaking into a Palo Alto Bloomingdale’s store early Tuesday morning.

Police released surveillance video Thursday showing the group breaking into the store and smashing glass cases of jewelry before leaving.

“These burglars were after jewelry and high end watches,” Janine De La Vega said.

Palo Alto police say the burglary occurred just after 2 a.m. Tuesday at the department store located in the Stanford Shopping Center on El Camino Real.

Police say the suspects used rocks to smash the front doors and display cases.

“These burglars wasted no time in getting in there,” De La Vega said. “They actually committed this burglary in a minute and 20 seconds.”

The suspects got away with watches and jewelry before leaving the scene in a 1990s, 4-door white BMW 3 series, according to police.

Bloomingdale’s customers at the Stanford Shopping Center were greeted by a plywood door, most not sure why it was there but were surprised when they found out what happened.

“I think it’s insane,” a customer said. “I’ve heard about it in other areas recently it’s out of control.”

Palo Alto police were seen patrolling the mall’s parking lot Thursday night.

Thieves often target shoppers’ cars — but these crooks went for bigger game. Their faces were covered in the security video making it difficult to see who they are. Nevertheless, police are still looking for help identifying them.

“What if you notice your neighbor or somebody that you know who suddenly has a bunch of jewelry or expensive watches. If you have any information please give us a call,” De La Vega said.

Police are now investigating whether the burglary could be connected to other burglaries in surrounding cities.

Those with information on what happened are asked to call police at (650) 329-2413.
