"Police received reports of people breaking into a business near the intersection of South Main Street and Vernon Avenue, where a street takeover had been reported."
"Video showed discarded merchandise boxes and broken glass strewn about the parking lot, with the front door and security gate pulled open."
"About a month ago, about 100 people ransacked another South L.A. AutoZone."
