The occasional smash-and-grab attempts in SF’s Union Square get an outsize amount of media coverage, though the East Bay clearly has a much bigger smash-and-grab epidemic lately. The latest of these happened in the wee hours of Sunday morning at Concord’s Sunvalley Shopping Center, as KPIX reports that seven teens were arrested after a smash-and-grab attempt. Six of the seven teens were under 18 years old.
