WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (AP) — About 80 people, some wearing ski masks and wielding crow bars, ransacked a high-end department store in the San Francisco Bay Area, stealing merchandise before fleeing in cars waiting outside, police and witnesses said.
Three people were arrested while the majority got away after the large-scale theft Saturday night shocked shoppers at the Nordstrom in Walnut Creek, police said.
NBC Bay Area reporter Jodi Hernandez tweeted that she saw the thieves rush into the store in the downtown shopping district in the city some 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.
“About 25 cars just blocked the street and rushed into the Walnut Creek Nordstrom making off with goods before getting in cars and speeding away,” Hernandez said on Twitter.
Video from the scene shows masked people streaming out of the store, carrying bags and boxes, jumping into the cars and speeding away.
Brett Barrette, the manager of a nearby PF Chang’s restaurant, began locking doors at his establishment while watching the chaos unfold.
“We probably saw 50 to 80 people in ski masks, crowbars, a bunch of weapons,” Barrette told ABC 7 News.
The Walnut Creek Police Department said a firearm was recovered from one of the three arrested suspects, ABC 7 reported.

All stores for the elite. I guess the elites’ “luxury beliefs” *do* come at a price.

Walnut Creek is twenty five miles from San Francisco.
At least here in the Northeast we do not call that “near”.
The whole state of Rhode Island is only thirty seven miles wide.
;-)
So if each thief only stole $900 worth, no real crime occurred in California, right?
You get what you vote for. It’s called political capital.

:-} Early black friday sale?
The Walnut Creek Nordstrom's is about 25 miles from the 'hood in San Francisco.
That's "near" in a way, but is a remarkable increase in mobility for enemy forces.
Look for more of this. If you though 25-40 miles out was "safe" - think again.
It’s only about 10-15 miles from the ‘hood in Oakland.
If they said it was “near Martinez” or “near Lafayette” or “near Alamo” or “near Clayton,” would that have cleared it up?
Walnut Creek even has a tunnel to protect them from “the hood” in Oakland.
;-)
I can't imagine that they will put up with the ransacking of Walnut Creek's version of their Walmart.
It's OK to sack downtown SF but if the thugs are coming to Walnut Creek, their will be blood in the streets {and it ain't gonna be the residents}.
Burn Kenosha, WI that's OK, raid Walnut Creek, CA, it's like taking on Wyatt Earp in Dodge City.
Bad things are gonna happen to the bad guys {that you might not read about}.
Think about an old movie where the real bad guys take it in the ass, I dunno, like "The Accountant" which I just watched, AGAIN, last night 'cause in wanted to laugh.
Yes I know that.
I have chosen to live >100 miles from the ‘hood. I was pointing out that in places like Florida (for example), there are lots of juicy targets 2 miles or less from the ‘hood where people have an INCREDIBLE, but wrong, sense of personal safety.
Eighty looters in ski masks with crowbars: that's crazy enough to be a San Francisco story.
The other day, I was wondering what happened to "flash mobs."
If this is them making a comeback, I'd just as soon they didn't.
OMG. Get a load of how London Breed think this is gonna be fixed...

...by going after cars.
“Near” is just sloppy sensationalist headline.
The poster noting the distance to Oakland had it correct, but Agitation and Propaganda mass media was afraid to go there....might appear “racist”.
their = there; my bad
...you're gonna meet some looting people there.
