A number of Bay Area businesses were the target of smash-and-grab robberies. On Sunday evening, thieves targeted the Hayward Mall and the Lululemon in San Jose.

Witnessed say that there was a large mob of thieves that caused a huge disturbance inside the mall. Some of the thieves invaded a jewelry store in the mall.

A witness told local news KPIX:

“I would say at least 30 to 40 [people] from what I saw,” ... “But then after the main group of kids rushed out, we saw 15 to 20 scattering, some even came back in.”

Later that evening around 6:30 pm, thieves targeted the Lululemon store located on "Santana Row" in San Jose. Police said the thieves entered the store and took some merchandise. They fled the scene before police could arrive.

Sunday's thefts mark the third day of large mob robbers targetting Bay Area stores.
