A trio of thieves broke into a Champaign, Illinois sneaker store and made off with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
“Three individuals had busted through the front window, and they came in here and took pretty much all the clothing in here,” said Brendan Trumann, the owner of Trumann Kicks,. He also said burglars stole a handful of shoes as well.
nEarly on the morning of December 29, surveillance footage from the store showed the masked trio breaking into the store and then escaping in a black Nissan Altima, sans a license plate.
“I didn’t expect anything like this to happen, so I was kinda under prepared for something like this to happen. I’m definitely going to have enhanced security,” Trumann said.
Though the robbery is a devastating situation, Trumann is resolute on soldiering on, saying, “I plan to build this back brick by brick.”
