Looters hit Philadelphia Apple, Foot Locker & Lululemon stores; at least 15 arrested in mass chaos
A group of young looters created havoc in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, stealing from several stores in a spree that is unrelated to earlier peaceful protests over a judge’s decision to drop charges against a cop who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry, police said.
The unruly crowd outnumbered responding officers as they went from store to store in Center City, lifting merchandise and stuffing it in large plastic bags, CBS Philadelphia reported.
The shoplifters hit a Foot Locker and Apple store near 15th and Chestnut streets as well as a Lululemon in Rittenhouse Square and are accused of assaulting a security guard at the shoe store, according to the local station.
At least 15 people were arrested in connection with the frenzied mass-shoplifting event, according to ABC7.
The looting has no connection to the demonstrations held earlier in the day over the dismissal of charges in the Irizarry case, multiple Philadelphia police commanders told the outlet.
