The robbers had already made off with expensive cameras and other photography equipment, leaving the stolen truck behind in the gaping hole. No word on exactly how much the stolen gear was worth.
Photographer Bill Manning captured photos of the Wolf Camera store after employees had boarded up the front:
Managers of the camera store tell FOX 5 that this is the 3rd time the store has been targeted by burglars.
