San Pedro Shoe Store Burglarized; $100,000 of Merchandise Stolen

SAN PEDRO — Burglars broke into a San Pedro shoe store Nov. 30, just days before the business was set to reopen after the pandemic.

Burglars broke into the building where the store Street Sole is located in the early morning and stole more than $100,000 worth of merchandise, including items that had already been ordered by customers.

KABC reported security-camera footage shows at least two individuals dressed in hoodies rummaging through the store, removing items from the racks and loading them into a truck parked out front.

The burglars pried open a metal gate covering the front door and then smashed through the glass to get inside. They also cut wires to some of the security cameras.

Store owner Jean Grisard is still processing what happened to the business he first opened in 2017. It’s the second time his store has been burglarized.

Grisard and his wife set up a GoFundMe page for assistance during this difficult time. If you would like to donate, visit www.gofundme.com/f/street-sole-burglary.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Harbor Division said it was notified about the alarm going off at the business at 6:28 a.m. Detectives are investigating.
