Clothes and other items worth about $10,000 were stolen from rapper Soulja Boy’s retail shop over the weekend in Los Angeles’ Fairfax area, according to police.
The theft was reported at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday when someone driving by the SODMG Brand store in the 7400 block of Melrose Avenue saw a person inside the closed business, Los Angeles police told NBCLA.
Officers discovered a smashed front door when they arrived to search the business, but found no one inside at the time. No arrests were reported Monday.
Law enforcement sources told NBC4 that about $10,000 worth of items, including sweaters, shirts and a game console, were taken in the burglary.
The new SODMG Brand location just west of North Vista Street opened in January across the street from the original store on Melrose Avenue.
