614Sneaker said that 15 Sp5der brand hoodies were taken, but it appears nothing else was stolen.

The shop has identified “suspects” and is working with Columbus Police to catch the burglars. 614Sneaker, which is located at 964 N. High St., was able to board up the broken glass and reopen the following day.
