Indianapolis is a city well on its way of becoming Detroit as influx of urban people have infiltrated this place within the past twenty years. the rise of crime in Indy has coincided with increased migrations of a city that was basically spared mass black migration from the south decades ago and only recently have seen its black population swell. One of the favorite pastimes of urban black youths is the crime of smash and grab of clothing items by youths who don't making jingle in the illegal narcotics sales and trade on the streets.

Police are still working to find the group of thieves responsible. The store
was gated, but the owner said that did not stop them from ramming a car through the front doors to get inside.
Surveillance video shows the driver in a white car accelerating into the store. Glass shattered everywhere with 10 to 12 people seen rushing trying to get pass the gate.
The driver puts the car in reverse, almost hurting the accomplices in between. Thieves got away with designer clothing worth thousands of dollars.
The store was opened for business Thursday evening with the front doors still boarded up.
Para Prince gets her nails done at a salon just a couple of doors down. She said this is the first time hearing about the crime and is just glad thieves are not into robbing nails instead of jeans.
“It’s extremely disappointing that when a business tries to take the proper security measures that people are actually risking their lives for a pair of what looked like blue jeans,” she said.
The Hang Time owner told 24-Hour News 8 off camera a pair of jeans in his store cost around $300. The damage is estimated at $50,000. He said that’s not including the merchandise. of course why this jerk is charging 300 dollars for a jean and maybe this has something to do with a target for his business is another matter.
“It’s just sad because you have to pay for what you want and you have to work every day to get what you want,” said Prince. “I work every day so I can come and get my nails done. I’m not going to come in here and get my services and then run out of the door.”I just want to get through life and pay for a new set of nails every week
The owner said detectives are trying to figure out if there’s a Chicago connection. Police in the Windy City have seen similar crimes in the past.
