A shirtless suspect wearing a mask in a failed smash-and-grab<\/a> job in Southern California has been identified by police.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joshua Lee Simmons, 36, is being sought by the El Monte Police Department in connection with the Sept. 2 foiled heist at a jewelry store. He was spotted walking down a street holding an empty cardboard box and wearing a mask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CRIME-FIGHTING FOG HITS SHOPLIFTERS AS RETAIL THEFT SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He entered Meza’s Jewelry and used bear spray in the face of a man sitting outside and then rushed inside the shop. He was captured on surveillance video smashing display cases with a hammer as the store’s family of co-owners race to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the struggle, Simmons allegedly showered the family in more bear spray. The jewelry shop owners hit him with a stick and tried wrestling him to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His shirt ripped off during the struggle and he fled empty-handed<\/a>. No open was harmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The foiled robbery is the latest in the ongoing surge of smash-and-grabs plaguing the Los Angeles area<\/a>. A number of law enforcement agencies have formed a task force to investigate and prosecute the crimes.<\/p>\n

Videos posted to social media often show groups of thieves ransacking clothing and jewelry shoes, with many fleeing with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bay Area has also seen an uptick in the robbery trend. Critics point to soft-on-crime policies they believe enable thieves to continue to target retailers without any consequences. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
