COMPTON, Calif. - A Compton bakery reopened Friday after a street takeover turned violent and looted the small mom-and-pop shop earlier this week.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the break-in occurred at 3:30 a.m. at Ruben's Bakery located at 2701 N. Santa Fe Avenue.
Officials said approximately 100 people broke into the bakery after a white car repeatedly backed into the front door, so they could get inside.
Security video from inside shows a mob of people looting the popular business which has been open for 48 years.
"It's very heartbreaking to see what my family has built over the years to just be destroyed in five, six minutes," said Ruben Ramierez Jr., whose parents own the bakery. "It just angers you."
When deputies arrived, they saw multiple people fleeing from the scene.
