Flash mobs are known across the United Stats as a group of people, dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves while entertaining others.
However, the Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.
According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.
YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.
Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said any sort of crime where there's hundreds of people involved is a dangerous situation.
"You've got a large number of people going and coming at the same time they are throwing produce," said Jefferson. "They are stealing items, they are all over the store. You can imagine how fearful the customers were who were in there at that particular time."
Police did not make any arrests after the mob of people took over the store. If caught, these teens could face criminal charges.

Are we allowed to mention the race/ethnicity of the mob?
Why is it ok to identify by age, to say that they are teenagers or young adults, but not okay to identify by other characteristics?
Were they compelled to theft and mayhem because they live miserable lives grappling with poverty??? Are we supposed to feel sorry for them?
No, they're not. They are known for disrupting shoppers, stealing and sometimes engaging in violence. I guess this reporter never actually was in the middle of one of them.
I couldn’t see the comments when I went to the page...guess there was too much truth telling in them?
Black Feral Youths out of control will become the norm because no one wants to address the real problem ,,, 70% come from homes with no father and everything in their life has been given to them by the government and they want more .
THAT’S RACIST !!!!!!
It’s a black thing.
Y’all wouldn’t unnastan’.
Walmart is a success because somebody else built it!
That’s a shame...assistant principal Terri Jones does a great job ‘stirring the pot’...truth is EXACTLY what she got a good dose of...where are the ‘white flash mobs’...where are the ‘asian flash mobs’...where are the ‘hispanic flash mobs’..?
Maybe this is why the city of Detroit does not have one chain grocery supermarket store within city limits. Pretty tough to chalk up a profit between food fights!
Blacks stealing.
You’re allowed. They’re blacks stealing.
...note to self, get more re-loaders
Look on the positive side. Nobody got beaten near to death.
yep, holder’s people

She makes it sound like a a convention of court jesters were simply staging a show.
