Police are searching for more than a dozen suspects who ransacked a Nike Store in Los Angeles, stealing roughly $12,000 in merchandise.
Video of the incident shows masked and hooded people running through the store on Sunday, stuffing boxes of shoes into trash bags and ripping clothes off the rack before fleeing.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, on Sunday at around 5:50 p.m., a total of 17 suspects in five vehicles pulled up to the shopping center on the 9800 block of South Alameda Street.
"The suspects, whose faces were concealed by medical masks or other material, ran into a retail store with trash bags in hand," police said in a statement. "They placed clothing and boxes of shoes in the trash bags and fled from the location without paying for the merchandise."

Years ago I worked at a company called Naum Brothers. Met my wife there, over 50 years ago.
Most of the merchandise was in the warehouse. My wife worked in housewares, I worked in the warehouse.
If a customer wanted a particular toaster, my wife or any other sales person, would send down a ticket, through an air tube. I would open the tube, read the order, go to the location in the warehouse where these toasters are kept and set the item on a conveyor belt that went up into the store. Rinse repeat.
Maybe necessity will bring back this way of shopping to thwart the flash mobs.
Or maybe all retail stores will close and we will just buy everything from Amazon.
Chris Rock has a word for them, but I will not post it.
Well, Nike is always pontificating about diversity. So they got themselves a little bit of diversity.
That store is located in the “black community” of Watts. Black people ransacking/looting black businesses.
More “black culture” and diversity on display.
Or maybe all retail stores will close and we will just buy everything from Amazon.
Retail in California needs to relocate to the exurbs beyond the reach of public transport to keep their merch out of the hands of the urban shoplifting scholars
Is it them, Yogi?
OR BOOT BARN
More relatives of Obeyme.
Nope!
$12,000.00 stolen by maybe a dozen (12) peoples. If that dozen was a ‘Baker’s Dozen’, not even a felony individually.
So, no big deal. Besides this is Nike, so who cares. Not me for sure.
Not one pair of Work Boots was stolen...
“Well, Nike is always pontificating about diversity. So they got themselves a little bit of diversity.”
Its not Nike that will be hurt, it is the store owner or its insurance company.
Every day is Black Friday!
RFK Jr can hold a campaign stop and bitch about a “Sneakers Desert”
Good.
Nike supports the policies that resulted in their being looted.
Over 60% of Cabelas customers have CCW’s. And they are armed while in the store.
Yes. :)
I can’t imagine Friday!... Black Friday here in Los Angeles.
Anyone shopping that day better carry pepper spray!
