A trio of thieves wielding pepper spray and a sledgehammer blitzed the Divine Consign shop, 1014 Oak Hill Road, on Saturday – smashing cases and making off with an estimated $20,000 in jewelry.
The robbery was reported at 1:39 p.m. Employees and customers were dosed with pepper spray during the crime.
Witnesses described the robbery crew as three black males in masks and hoodies, last seen driving west on Highway 24 in a black, late-model Honda sedan.
Obviously the same MO as the Orinda consignment store, using pepper spray. Really frustrating that this continues.
My sentiments exactly
They have a system, go where the money (jewelry) is. Only one way to disrupt these desperados.

West on 24, great name for a Rap Band.
Just another rob and dash, nothing to see here.

People were violently assaulted
And your elected officials, DA, judges, etc. don’t care.

I was told by my source, some random guy, that the employees were all pepper sprayed. Is that true?
WE know they (the bad guys) entered with chemical agents but no one has told us if they were deployed… hope not. That stuff is nasty.
They were totally deployed. I was sprayed in the face three times. It was good 25 minutes before I could open my eyes. They were surgical in their attack. Took less than 2 minutes to subdue everyone and rob the place. They knew exactly what they were doing
Madeline,
Very sorry you had to experience this event, I know what the spray feels like, not pleasant.

First time eh? That stuff stings!
Tell your random guy to call news 24 680 when these things happen. They’re the only ones telling us about this stuff.
How many does that make now?
About five that we’ve reported on locally.
Same crew but changing up cars and members???
Some subtle changes to the lineup and transportation but we think you’re right for the most part…
