What happened at the Louis Vuitton store in San Francisco, California?

Shortly before 8pm local time on November 19, the Louis Vuitton store in San Francisco’s Union Square was the target of a smash-and-grab.

Video from the scene shows broken glass on the sidewalk and a seemingly empty store.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the San Francisco police department at (415) 575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and start the message with SFPD.

Was anyone arrested?

San Francisco officer Robert Rueca told that they have arrested multiple people in connection to the crime and are responding to other reports.

At this time, the names of those who have been arrested have not been released to the media but District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin told that officers did "great work," following the incident.

One eyewitness told CBS that more than 12 people "could be seen running out of the store clinging to merchandise, hauling off as much as they could carry."

It remains unclear how many people were involved in the heist as the case is still under investigation.
