Surveillance video captured thieves breaking into a wine shop and escaping with over $700,000 worth of rare blue-chip wines on Saturday morning.
Nazmul Haque Helal, the owner of Lincoln Fine Wines, said the heist took place around 1 a.m. as security video captures the thieves arriving in a white pickup truck.
The truck drives around the back parking lot several times before a masked suspect is seen exiting and walking towards the shop. The suspect quickly climbs on top of a metal container while holding what appears to be a large knife or sharp metal tool before cutting a hole above the rare wines cellar.

INSURANCE JOB
Normal day in Venice
I think it's inside job 🤔
$700,000 for some wines imagine how long a minimum wage worker would have to work to afford something like that these guys took it in less than 30 minutes now I’m not saying crime is right but what’s better 30 years working or 30 minutes stealing ???
Inside Job
That amount of wine is definitely worth whining about…
More than likely someone who either worked there or has been there in the past, obviously. They knew exactly what ones to take. If I was the wine burglar, I’d drink my loot…not sell it. 👍🏻😉
They contracted this guys because I doubt they have brains on what wine is worth 😂
Gotta be a near inside job.
Insurance scam
If the law doesn't change to make criminals see death, crime will never go down.
That's way too much…
BLM
Insurance fraud. Camera conveniently could not see the plate. “Stolen” goods will be taken out of storage and back on the shelf in a few months 👏🏻
Blaxx Behaving Badly
Usual suspects will be multi millionaires with all the stolen items over the last few years from hard working businesses
Insurance scam
This looks very suspicious 🤔🧐
Don't you think y'all need to do this Nationwide maybe overseas where they might be selling it or something not just as where they stole it in whatever town the loan is to come down on criminals quit letting them out of the jail cells
Yeah let’s all jump to jump to conclusions…Karen Bass is responsible
Insurance fraud.
Million dollar inventory and no alarms to warn the owner? Unbelievable!

Inside job.

Wow. The cops actually are doing there jobs in Los Angeles? I thought it was the purge in LA the last two years to a certain extent.
Hmm common denominators
It's a real shame I feel sorry for the owner.
