After a series of high-end shopping malls in California were bombed by dozens of gangsters, Governor Newsom once said to "strike hard" (for details, click: The explosion spread to Los Angeles!). Last night 20 people ransacked Nordstrom in Beverly Hills, even taking the cash register away)
But just a day later, another Nordstrom mall in Los Angeles was ransacked by several gangsters.
Los Angeles
5 gangsters blast Nordstrom
The incident occurred in Nordstrom, a Shopping Mall in Westfield Topanga & The Village, at about 6:48 p.m. on Wednesday, and at least five gangsters were said to have been involved in the robbery, with a clear division of labor, some responsible for dealing with security guards, some entering the store to rob, and one security guard being attacked with pepper spray.
Los Angeles Police Deputy Commissioner Alan Hamilton said four of the suspects stole an unknown number of high-end handbags.
Nordstrom employee Whitney Sterk said in an interview that the gangsters still used hammers to smash the vitrines, "They went straight to the Bottega Veneta boutique area and started smashing the glass and snatching away the small handbags and small items that were left there." Sterker said that after the robbers sprayed the chemical (pepper spray), her colleagues had trouble breathing or opened their eyes, and one of them had a burned face.
The Los Angeles Police Department is pursuing the suspects, who allegedly rode in a blue or gray Mustang with no license plates.
Northern California
The Apple store was looted
In Santa Rosa, just north of San Francisco, there was also a robbery on Wednesday night, with displays such as Apple phones and iPads worth more than $20,000 being snatched.
According to CBS, the theft occurred in broad daylight and was committed by four young male suspects, witnessed by both customers and staff.
The Santa Rosa Police Department said in a statement, "In broad daylight, the suspect snatched more than $20,000 worth of merchandise from the store in front of customers and staff, and then fled the area in an unknown vehicle." ”
San Francisco
Robbing journalists became mainstream
Whenever a security case occurs, many reporters will go to the scene to cover the report, but the camera worth tens of thousands of dollars in the hands of reporters has become the latest target of gangsters.
At noon Wednesday, Local San Francisco television station KRON4 was robbed while interviewing in Oakland and a security guard was shot.
KRON4 said that around noon on Wednesday, its film crew was reporting on a burglary that occurred two days ago at a Prime 356 clothing store in Oakland when the robbers shot at the security guards protecting the film crew and tried to snatch the camera from the reporter's hand. The security guard was taken to the hospital after being shot in the abdomen and is currently in stable condition after surgery.
In fact, it is not the first time that journalists covering social news in San Francisco have been robbed, they have long been a high-risk industry, and television stations are well aware of the dangers, so they have equipped reporters and videographers who appear on camera with security guards. Therefore, this time, thanks to the security guards who stepped forward, otherwise the reporters who had no power to tie the chicken could only wait to be robbed.
note
Year-end robberies are likely to continue
It is the end of the Year in the United States, and it is also the annual shopping season, the merchants have prepared a large number of goods, the customers have saved enough money for a year to shop, and the gangsters have also seen this opportunity to start crazy crimes. The police said that such cases of explosions may continue to occur in the future.
Through the clear division of labor among dozens of people, entering the store to smash and rob, the whole crime process is less than a minute, and the police can't catch up no matter how fast... This "new" way of committing crimes gives the perpetrators a taste of "sweetness", and they will inevitably not give up, but continue to commit crimes.
California Governor Newsom had said he would "crack down hard," and just one day, another Nordstrom store was robbed.
From the current point of view, Nordstrom is the most dangerous! Nordstrom is a store that sells mid-to-high-end luxury goods, deeply loved by the American middle class, and gangsters have targeted the store, whether it is North Canada or South Canada, Nordstrom has been robbed.
In addition, last weekend there was a very bad murder in Los Angeles, a woman who "wore gold and silver" and drove a luxury car was robbed, and a man came forward to stop it and was shot on the spot, which was shocking.
In short, the shopping season at the end of this year is quite uneven, so be careful when shopping out.
