Walmart Madness #33! Florida Flash Mob Attack!
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. SOURCE
If Walmart wasn't the evil corporation it is, I'd almost feel sorry for them. I pity the employees, though.
ReplyDeleteLol, I keep wanting to lay off the Walmart stories but they keep on coming! Maybe I really SHOULD start a Walmart Madness blog.
