Smash-and-grab robbers flee from Canoga Park Nordstrom robbery

CANOGA PARK (CNS) - An unknown number of suspects were seen fleeing in two vehicles after carrying out a smash-and-grab robbery at a Nordstrom in Canoga Park, authorities said Saturday.

The crime occurred around 5:15 p.m. Friday at the Westfield Topanga shopping center at Victory and Topanga Canyon boulevards, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Division.
