YSL store in Glendale, California, robbed by gang of brazen thieves who made off with $300K worth of goods

Stunned bystanders caught the shocking moment a gang of at least 30 brazen thieves ransacked a Yves Saint Laurent store in an upscale California shopping center.

Videos posted online showed multiple people in dark clothes, hoods and masks running into and then quickly out of the store at the Americana at Brand shortly before 5pm Tuesday.

Glendale police said the thieves got away with about $300,000 worth of merchandise, after they overwhelmed the staff and took everything they could in less than a minute.

None of the thieves used any weapons in the brazen scheme, and no injuries were reported.

An investigation is ongoing, as California continues to deal with a spate of robberies after lawmakers lowered the punishment for thefts of merchandise under $950.

Footage from the robbery at the store shows a group of hooded and masked thieves running out of the shop with arms full of merchandise.

They sprinted through a walkway to the curb, where police said about 20 cars were waiting for them, and sped away in several directions.

One suspect seemed to have been stopped as he tried to flee by an Amazon delivery driver, who was seen tussling with the thief.

But somebody off-screen could be heard telling the delivery person to just let him go, saying it is 'not worth' getting struck by a fleeing vehicle.

Every city in America needs a Frank Rizzo, and the cops need to dole out wooden shampoos.

Violence is the only thing these savages understand.

They voted for it, and if they didn’t they stayed.

Sounds like a good use for a Halon system.

If I was running YSL, I’d have had plywood on the windows of this store years ago. Eat the lease, it’s less than the theft/insurance premiums.

When insurance companies stop paying out for lost products during looting, will the owners be able to shoot the looters?????Or will they have to leave the black ones alone????

Not a crime in Cauliphonya. The stolen items didn’t belong to any politicians or Hollyweird elitist movie stars so it’s no big deal.

considering the police do nothing, the prosecutors and judges do nothing then the only justice left is down a
gun sight. it wouldn’t take long to stop this.

Oh it’s easy. The look is already posted to facebook so just look there. All they need to do is catch a few and get them to rat out the others

They could post their photos at the Americana itself and the thieves wouldn’t be charged.

DA is George Gascon - couldn’t be more criminal friendly.

All looters, rioters and arsonists should be shot on sight.
