11/6/13, “Surveillance Video Captures Flash Mob Robberies At 3 Chicago Area Stores,” chicago.cbslocal.com
“Unbelievable surveillance video captured flash mobs dashing into store after store and running out with armloads and sometimes entire racks of sporting goods.
It has happened at three different Sports Authority stores in the Chicago area.
This past Monday in Burbank at just before 1 p.m., five individuals entered a Sports Authority and soon after they were off. Video shows them running out the door with rack after rack of apparel and an employee giving chase.
On Saturday at a Sports Authority on Clark Street, a half dozen entered and stole several racks with lighting fast speed.
The store chain sounded the siren, saying, “At Sports Authority, the
comfort and safety of our employees and customers always remain our top
priority.”
It’s like a next-generation flash mob. Originally, flash mob referred
to a group of people doing a performance to draw attention to something
in a positive way. The term gave way to a more sinister motive….
No one was hurt in the three incidents, though it’s clear the mob stops for no one.
A close look at the robbery on Clark Street shows an employee who tries to intercede gets trampled.
The third incident occurred at the Frankfort location.
There have been no arrests so far and Sports Authority is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.” (videos at link) via Drudge
