Thieves Break Into Tulsa Business By Crashing Car Through Window

Burglars crashed a stolen car into a midtown Tulsa cell phone store and made off with dozens of cell phones in less than one minute.

Security camera video from Twister Wireless shows the car approaching and crashing into the store before daylight. Three more burglars run-in after the car. The police determined the car was stolen. The video clearly shows the burglars who are wearing hoods and masks.

Store Manager Bobby Patel estimated the damage and losses at $50,000. “Not even one minute – bang, bang, bang – they took what they wanted,” he said. The cleanup and repairs were underway Wednesday afternoon. Patel said the store alarm alerted him to an attempted break-in Tuesday morning when someone in a stolen car rammed the front door. It held, and the stolen car was left behind. Tulsa Police continue to investigate and reported Wednesday afternoon they had no new leads.
