Three people were arrested early Tuesday after thieves broke into a Nordstrom department store at the Grove mall late Monday, smashing one window and stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, authorities said. Rick Caruso, the developer behind the Grove, confirmed there was a break-in at the Nordstrom but no entry was made to the Grove. “Fortunately they could not enter the Grove and LAPD is pursuing,” Caruso said in a text message. He said a group of 18 to 20 people stole $5,000 worth of merchandise after breaking a display window. The break-in at Nordstrom was preceded by another smash and grab at a CVS in the 5800 block of South Vermont Avenue, LAPD officials said.
