One employee of the convenience store said that he feared for his life and didn’t resist as more than 100 people invaded the store to loot and trash it.
The Daily Mail reports that a large group of people entered the 7-Eleven near Figueroa Street and El Segundo Boulevard on August 15 after a “street takeover.”
Street takeovers, where cars and crowds illegally block streets in order to create a space at an intersection where drivers of tricked-out cars do donuts, burn-outs, and show off their drifting skills, are a growing problem, especially in Southern California.
Bystanders have been seriously injured and fights have broken out at these illegal gatherings.
This particular street takeover added a new insidious dynamic — what police are calling “flash mob looting.”
[The looters] can be seen running across the store and grabbing drinks, cigarettes, lottery tickets, bags of chips and other items.According to the Los Angeles Police Department the suspects also started throwing items at them, with around 100 people involved in the chaos.
One store employee was left fearing for his life after the incident, with a suspect wearing a Colorado Rockies hate [sic] throwing food at one employee.
Watch:
LAPD spokesperson explained what happened.
‘The spectators then formed a ‘flash mob’ of looters and rushed a nearby 7-Eleven located at the northwest corner of Figueroa Street and El Segundo Boulevard.
‘Video surveillance from the store showed the looters fanning out across the store and grabbing all the snacks, drinks, cigarettes, lotto tickets, and other merchandise.
‘Looters also vandalized the store and threw merchandise at employees.
‘The looters then exited the store to the surrounding parking lots and streets, and quickly dispersed before police arrived.
LAPD Detective Ryan Moreno said, “We really want to prevent this from becoming a new trend.”
Those involved will face charges of vandalism, grand theft, and looting when they are apprehended by authorities.
Police have released the surveillance video hoping to identify the suspects.

Lawlessness in Democrat cities is out of control.
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
