A new video that has been circulating online shows the disturbing moments a 7-Eleven gets ransacked and destroyed by dozens of people. According to @abc7la, the incident took place on Monday.
The clip obtained by the news site shows a large crowd of people outside the store before they storm into the place and start grabbing and pulling merchandise from the shelves. Others can be seen crossing over the plastic barrier over the front counter and continuing to throw items everywhere. Police say at least 100 people were inside. They said everyone involved will be facing multiple charges, including grand theft, looting, and vandalism. Authorities are now urging the public to come forward if they recognize anybody in the video.
“It turned into a real angry, somewhat mob mentality,” said Detective Ryan Moreno. “They come inside the store, they start ransacking the place, taking everything, whatever they can – food, cigarettes, lottery tickets. Someone tried to grab the cashier’s box. There was one employee who was working at the time and they feared for their life.” LA residents have been left outraged by the clip. Even stars like Khloe Kardashian are reacting to the wild scene. The Kardashians star said, “So so sad! Such a shame!”
