As many as a dozen suspects wanted after smash-and-grab burglary in St. Johns County

Jacksonville, FL — It's being described as a 'professional' smash-and-grab burglary.

The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office is investigating, after as many as a dozen suspects targeted a popular shopping center on County Road 210.

We're told the group stole several thousand dollars' worth of merchandise from a liquor store in the Johns Creek shopping center, in addition to a collection jar for cancer patients.

An employee tells our partner Action News Jax, the whole thing was caught on the store's surveillance camera and it looked like something out of a movie.

"About 12 guys, 10 to 12 guys, we think about 5 cars, totally ransacked the store in a couple of minutes," the employee says.

It's estimated the burglars got away with at least $5,000 in stolen items.
