Southern California retail stores experienced a myriad of smash-and-grab-style robberies throughout January, with evidence indicating the trend may be increasing.

The style of robbery is usually done in organized groups of 2 to 5 people who will quickly enter a retail business, break through glass display cases to grab merchandise, and flee before police can even be called, or at least before they arrive.
