A flash mob of teenagers ransacked stores in Philadelphia on Tuesday in what police called a coordinated effort.
Video of the looting was shared on social media, where people were spotted stealing merchandise from multiple stores, including Lululemon and Apple. The retail attack took place after a judge dismissed several charges, including murder, against a Philadelphia police officer."Thank you to @PhillyPolice for their swift response to disperse crowds and make necessary arrests related to last night’s incidents," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, posted on social media.
This was a sickening display of opportunistic criminal activity, and we will not stand for it. https://t.co/r83gnayGi8Roughly 20 people were arrested. The looters were not affiliated with a protest regarding the judge's decision, according to John Stanford, the interim police commissioner who described the looters as “a bunch of criminal opportunists.”
"At the end, [employees] are trained to step back, let the theft occur, know that there's technology and there's cameras, and we're working with law enforcement," Lululemon CEO Calvin McDonald said."Unfortunately, in this situation, the educators knowingly broke the policy, engaged with the theft, the thieves, across multiple points."NEW: Mass looting breaks out in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as criminals were seen stealing IPhone 15s from the Apple Store.
