A few minutes after the Euclid smash and grab, police in Cleveland were called to Eddy Road and St. Clair Avenue to a Family Dollar that someone used a vehicle to attempt to get into the business. It did not appear that the suspects were successful, but they did cause damage to a gate in the front of the store.
At East 74th Street and Superior Avenue suspects left a minivan leaking gas in the parking lot after smashing two holes in the Family Dollar. It was unknown if anything was taken from that location.
