A car smashed through the front of a local smoke shop early Tuesday morning, taking out the entire storefront.
Citrus Heights Police were called out to the Baba Smoke N’ Vape on the corner of Auburn Boulevard and Greenback Lane on Aug. 6, for reports of a car crashing through the front of the store.
A tow truck, police officers, and at least one CSI officer were observed at the scene just before 10 a.m. Inside the shop, a silver sedan could be seen having entered and stopped at the back wall. Much of the glass from display cases was shattered due to the car’s impact. Glass and debris covered the floor, and part of a mangled black gate was set off to the side.
The owner of the shop told The Sentinel that the crash happened around 5 a.m. and that whoever crashed into the store also stole merchandise. The owner did not specify what was stolen or how much but estimated that the overall damage ranged from $30,000 to $40,000.
The vehicle involved had been reported stolen, according to KCRA.
