Local police are tense as a series of gang robbery cases in which dozens of people raid luxury stores in major cities have occurred one after another.<\/p>\n
According to US media such as NBC on the 13th, a group of estimated 30 to 50 people flocked to the Nordstrom department store in the Westfield Topanga shopping mall in the west of Los Angeles the day before and bought up to 100,000 dollars. They stole a lot of luxury bags and clothes and fled.<\/p>\n
According to video footage of the incident circulated on social media, the suspects, hiding their faces with hoods and masks, entered the store, smashed the glass of the display stand, and stole luxury bags and ran away. According to LAPD, some members of the group sprayed the guards with wild bear spray.<\/p>\n
Bear spray contains capsaicin, which can temporarily incapacitate the opponent when used on humans.<\/p>\n
After sweeping the luxury goods from the store, they fled in a BMW vehicle. Los Angeles police are chasing the suspects based on CCTV footage. LA Mayor Karen Bass said the incident was “absolutely unacceptable.”<\/p>\n
Incidents of group looting of retail stores by several people have recently occurred one after another in large cities in the United States. Previously, on the 30th of last month, 400 teenagers gathered around the Roosevelt subway station near the Chicago tourist attraction ‘Museum Campus’ and started a group riot, and 40 people were arrested.<\/p>\n
The Chicago police said they planned a large gathering through social media (SNS), flocked to a nearby store, looted goods, and vandalized the inside and outside of the store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
