RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (KABC) -- A jewelry store at Rancho Cucamonga's Victoria Gardens shopping center was hit by smash-and-grab robbers, who remained at large.

The owner of Undisputed Sole asked for the public's help in identifying the suspects who broke into the sneaker store.

The robbery comes less than two weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would seek more than $300 million in state funding over three years to boost law enforcement efforts to combat retail theft.

"The issue of crime and violence is top of mind all throughout not only the state of California but across the United States, highlighted recently by some high-profile retail theft operations," Newsom said.
