Gary Nguyen was asleep upstairs when a group of thieves broke into his business and stole tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of eyewear. Surveillance video shows the crooks, almost completely disguised, smashing glass cases to get the goods at Eye Impact.
“Once I got dressed, I called 911 and as I was called 911 I actually went downstairs and that’s when I came in the back entrance to the office and I realized they were still here,” said Nguyen.

The store is right off Washington Avenue near TC Jester. The men were in and out in a matter of minutes but managed to steal more than 400 frames, with a total loss of well over $50,000. They used a giant duffel bag to collect everything.
Some of the high-end brands sold here include Tom Ford, Kate Spade and Gold and Wood.
