2023 review: Smash-and-grab epidemic crippled Democratic cities
Also known as "flash mob" robberies, smash-and-grabs are defined as criminal actions conducted after "breaking a window of a car, store, etc., and stealing whatever can be taken quickly."
This type of criminal activity has been utilized by robbers in the past few years, but 2023 saw their popularity appear to rise as videos, police reports, and stories of businesses closing flooded social media.
In January, a gang of masked thieves stole up to $2 million worth of high-end jewelry from Facets Fine Jewelry in the Park Slope area of New York City.
