Police investigators in Walnut Creek are looking for the three men responsible for a smash-and-grab robbery at the Macy’s store in Broadway Plaza.
The robbery occurred just before 11 a.m. Saturday at the store, located at 1320 Broadway Plaza, according to a Walnut Creek police spokesperson.
The suspects entered the store and took off with expensive watches after smashing display cases.
Afterwards, the men sped away in a white, older model four-door Honda sedan.
No one was injured during the robbery.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Walnut Creek Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (925) 943-5865.
Sounds like Walnut Creek has not developed a plan to prevent the thieves from escaping Walnut Creek. There are only a few ways out of town.
Don’t worry. Now that we have re-elected Soros DA Becton, we have years more of this coming.

Those who voted for a crime-friendly city, take caution on your family strolls. Suckers.

Yes, high crime by crash-and-smash assailants is a worthwhile sacrifice for diversity and equality.
Over time, it won’t be just retail department stores. It’ll move on to grocery stores soon.
three men with.no description =-..Theyre baaaack!

HUMMmmmmm….
As we were out this morning on our walk… We actually saw several groups with 3 men…. could have been any of those, but we didn’t have anything else to go on but “…three men…”
I hear wanted for questioning are:
Moe, Shemp, & Larry
or
Moe, Curley, & Larry
or
Moe, either of the Joe’s, & Larry
Where is the WC council “resolution” to support BP retailers with increased policing and surveillance of “ suspicious persons” . Smash and Grab are dangerous to regular shoppers who could have been in the way and shoved aside or pushed to the ground. What the hell is wrong with this council? They are simply not doing enough to fix this epidemic of black crime. They need to partner with WCPD and make a media statement that they are serious about law enforcement and they need Diana to participate. She should be forced by CC Supervisors to resign if she refuses.
Don’t hold your breath, the WC City Council is all about social justice and a kinder gentler role for law enforcement. I’ve lectured the fools.

Was the vehicle was last seen westbound on Hwy 24 towards Libby Schaaf’s Oakland?
.
It probably went anyway but south. However if I was a clever thief that is the way least suspected for a get away.
Unfortunately those that decide to stay in the area are going to have to get used to this sort of thing.
This is not going to stop. This is not going to get better. This is going to continue to happen.
Not enough people are willing to accept for even a second that their own choices at the ballot box indeed do impact the quality of life for themselves and everybody else. Choices matter…..If things aren’t working, and they aren’t you shouldn’t keep voting to keep the very same people in power.
Black guys..
Who else would it be these days. We don’t just have a “crime problem”
We have a serious “Black Men” problem!! When the actual fighting back finally begins; They’ll be outnumbered 8-1. Keep your powder dry folks.
Woah..it’s one possibility..not the only one but it’s a solid theory..However your not really allowed to think so take it back.
I remember a minister 30 years ago saying that the out of wedlock birth rate of 80% for African Americans was going to really hit the black communities as the young men who would grow up without their fathers would grow up angry and violent.
I believe he was right. It’s a big shame! But the liberal government officials kind of pushed it too. Now reaping the benefits.
@Badge1104
But any discussion on that issue is strictly off limits with most of the media. We are all supposed to turn our heads and pretend that there is no issue.
… the street in front is blocked off now – where was the Honda parked? in the structure? assuming it was – why wasn’t the structure shut down at the time of the robbery? Where were the guards? how long did it take LE to arrive on scene? Who saw them leave in a white Honda? so much is left out of this….
Exactly.
Where is the video and snapshots from the video of the suspects?
Three men?!? Really?!? Three Men?!?
That is the best, most detailed description that the employees/customers could provide? Or did they perhaps provide a far more detailed description of the “three men” that is not being shared with the general public? Now why would that be the case I wonder?
Hey, at least they were willing to say that it was three “black” men.

Just saw this story somewhere else that mentions a description.
“On June 18, 2022 at 10:48 A.M. three black male adult suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts and masks entered Macy’s and began smashing jewelry display cases with hammers.
The suspects stole an unknown amount of high end watches and left immediately afterwards. The suspects were seen fleeing in a white older model 4-door Honda sedan.
No employees or shoppers were injured during the incident. Macy’s is still inventorying the loss and estimated cost to repair the damages.
The investigation is still on-going so no additional information is available at this time. If you have any information, please leave a message on our anonymous tip line at 925-943-5865.”
Yep…
Claycord if you are not going to identify the suspects why run the article?
Protecting or not mentioning the suspects is not helping anything. Makes it worse.
First there will be, b….. TEST.
Was crime committed for financial gain or personal need ? ? ?
Isn’t it amazing, how far Contra Costa county’s criminal justice system has advanced in just a few short years . . . . . .
This was only publicized because it was noisy and there were likely several witnesses. The muggings in the parking garage are kept quiet.
A friend and her husband were walking on Main Street Saturday. Hubby had his laptop bag over his shoulder. Three “youths” pointed and started following them. All the way to the police station. Our friends walked in and told the police about it. All they said is , “Oh yeah we are aware of these guys. We just cited released them for a snatch and grab crime. ” Thanks liberals.
I’m a liberal and hate this stuff as much as you do. We’ll never solve the issue by making it a political football.
@ CaliGirl
We’ll also never solve it by electing the same people over and over that have allowed this situation to deteriorate to the point that it has….
As we all know the liberals have had a firm grip on local and state politics for quite some time….things are not working, we need to change the people that are in charge.
Caligirl.. We didn’t make it a political issue.
I agree with “this_that”. It will be September, October during the food shortage, we will all be in the way in the grocery store isles, and be subject to getting run down when these looters stampede us over with stolen foods.
Specialty stores, next grocery stores, then next……..what really worries me ….they’ll be coming into our homes. I don’t think the liberal Democrat politicians will defend us.
If you go to the City of Walnut Creek “2021-2022 City Council Priorities” page, you will see the following in the number 1 position:
“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Keep building a welcoming and inclusive community by continuing the City’s DEI efforts, including training of City leadership and employees, review of policies and practices, communication, outreach to under-represented communities, and partnerships with not-for-profit organizations, with some initiatives guided/augmented by the DEI Task Force.”
So these smash and grabs are really creating an inclusive community. We can’t prioritize tax-paying citizens over disadvantaged criminals, now can we?
They need to substitute “Equity” with “Education”.
When people receive free stuff in the name of equity, they will never appreciate it, because they didn’t earn it. The term “sweat equity” exists for a reason.
Education gets the job done, but the left prefer a quick fix. Perhaps if they treated black people with respect and opportunity, things would improve for everyone. Instead, they treat black people as tokens for a political purpose. Who’s the racist now?
I’m as annoyed as anybody by the “three men” description but, to be fair, if it said, “three black men wearing hoodies”, would they really be any easier to find?
Here’s the link to WC city council page .

Not one thing about prioritizing the safety & quality of life for their law abiding, tax paying residents. Big shock huh?!?
First of all shout out to Juneteenth. 2nd of all, thieves know Contra Costa County is a criminal safe-haven with the reelection of Becton. Thirdly, this is only the third inning for these guys. It’s a free for all until the pasty white Liberals wake up. If I were a criminal, I would be hitting all the wealthy establishments in Coco County. Chances of any punishment is almost ZERO unless you are the occasional polluter or maybe a cold case file. GOOD LUCK
“No one was injured during the robbery.”
That’s the problem. There should have been three looters injured during the robbery.
AD
Lighten up…. it could have been White guys…. no pun intended.
Let me guess they were from Oakland and they were in need so no crime here.
Their “fathers” must be so proud.
What fathers?
With all due respect, anyone that voted to re-elect Becton or did not even bother to vote at all (18% voter turnout pfffft…) have given up their right to complain about crime in our County. Meanwhile the rest of us have to suffer the consequences.
Translation:
With All Due Respect

I’ve NO Respect…

I’ve noticed that seedy, dangerous-looking types LOVE to wear masks. It allows them to opportunistically commit crimes when they’re going about their days.
Actions have consciences. That is, unless D. Becton is running the show. No pity for the resentence of WC. You asked for more by re-electing this DA. Your vote mattered and you failed your city and county.
3 men. Well damn, that shouldn’t be to hard to find in the Bay Area. How stupid has this become when the descriptions of the perpetrators can’t even be given because it might hurt someone’s feelings ? Height, weight, age range, ethnicity, distinguishing marks, clothing. If the description is thought to be profiling, then get pissed at the perpetrators for stereotyping themselves. I want whoever these criminals are to be caught and carry the label of convicted.
For once, I am curious to hear Hanne’s thoughts on this subject. I think she works at that Macy’s.
Nope. She works at the Sun Valley Macy’s.
These were 3 black males. Please report the full description!!!
They wore their pants low below their butts, with their drawers exposed.
There are no consequences for bad behavior. Therefore bad behavior expands exponentially over time. Further, the police want to arrest these guys, but they also don’t want any trouble. Start arresting these guys regularly and before you know it Reverend Al Sharpton will be speaking at a rally in Broadway Plaza. The city Government certainly doesn’t want THAT. So a few million lost due to robbery and a few people mugged and beaten. A small price to pay to avoid any negative publicity…….
Last night there was a sideshow in Santa Rosa with a few assaults and a few cars burned. 150 cars and 250 spectators. Zero arrests. See a pattern?
Why would I Bother to ‘Be on the lookout’ for someone without a description????
Next, if these retail corporate outlets Refuse to provide security cam footage because “it reinforces stereotypes”…..then they Deserve what is happening to them as they Are part of the problem.
Macys needs to work on crime prevention measures. A sign at each entrance saying “now hiring” should do the trick.
Many of you on this thread are embarrassingly sad and angry. A “Black men problem”? Wow. How about there’s a human problem. What are you doing to make this world a better place? Seriously, name something. Have you offered to mentor anyone? How about reaching out to a black/brown boy directly offering support – especially when they’re at the most vulnerable ages. Get to them BEFORE the smash and grabs. It’s called intervention. The problem is, nobody wants to do the work. It’s way easier to complain about the symptoms of society vs getting to the bottom of why society is sick. Nobody really wants to help. Especially not black boys. You also don’t care enough to understand them. You’d have to get to know them first, right? Yikes! Kind of scary for a lot of you. God forbid you step outside yourself. But let’s all complain from the comfort of our computers behind fake names. I’d also venture to say that most everyone on this thread is over the age of 55 (except for myself, I’m a millennial 😁) but leaning towards 65+. Praying that your racist ideologies die off with your generation. Also, most of you would NEVER speak like this in open forum around black folks. Happy Juneteenth/Freedom Day!
I used to talk to young African-American men about staying in school and to try to get good jobs…………………….as I was driving around in my black and white car is So. Central L.A. and North Richmond.

Millennial: Some pretty broad assumptions you’re making. But I guess it’s inclusive, as you’re including everyone who posts here in your assumptions.
Whenever I meet a millennial of any color, I always offer to mentor them in learning to drive with a manual transmission. It does take me out of my comfort zone, as I’m uncomfortable with the smell of a clutch burning.
