Brazen Smash-And-Grab Robbers Ransack Antioch Walgreens

ANTIOCH (CBS SF) -- Four hammer-wielding suspects smashed locked plexiglass cases at an Antioch Walgreens over the weekend, stealing $2,400 worth of cosmetics and other merchandise.

Antioch police said the brazen smash-and-grab took place Saturday night at 8:36 p.m. at the Walgreens located at 3416 Deer Valley Road.

No injuries were reported. The four suspects fled and remained at large early Monday.
