Caracas – One of the many byproducts of Venezuela’s acute political and financial crisis is food truck looting, a pattern that is plaguing the country’s highways with chaos and fear.
Just last week, some 200 looters swarmed into an overturned tractor-trailer carrying canned juice — men, women and children were seen taking as many boxes of juice as they could, either by foot or on motorcycles.
Drivers and even emergency personnel just stood by, unaffected.
"The two Venezuelas" (Las dos Venezuelas), a catchphrase so commonly used here these days to describe the rift between the poor and the middle or upper class, were exposed in broad daylight for everyone to see: the looters and the citizens.
This time, looters refrained from attacking the grid-locked cars, something that has happened in the past, and they didn’t even take issue with the reporters covering the crash and the ensuing mayhem. “Here my man, take a can,” offered a young man, handing me a mangled can from the dozen he was carrying. “It’s apple flavor,” he said.

I don’t know this for a fact, but my gut feeling is Greece is a lot safer than Venezuela.
Getting them from google search
Apparently taking pics inside the stores will get you arrested now/
Here’s one of the links from latino fox news
Here’s a video of them and the police are right there as they do this
There’s video ....at post 45 link
Heck even the police were taking photos in that video.....what I’ve found out is apparently the truck tipped over and the people then looted it after that. Still, the police weren’t stopping them.

Many of the cops are also the criminals from some of the things I have read.

Hey even here it’s getting pretty bad where every ones on the “take” one way or another.
I remember reading a guy saying someone broke into his house and stole his stuff, since he is unarmed he couldn’t do much. So he went to the police station to report it, and there behind the desk, in uniform, is the guy who took his stuff.
Oh no!....
Reminds me of a friend who had a blind date.....some guy at work gave her a very hard time, rude, and nasty.....guess who her blind date was!
If you have not stocked up better get movin. :-)
There was a bait-car type of program in which a tractor trailer driver pretended to have a breakdown in the 'hood and left the truck unattended. A large number of those-who-must-not-be-described descended upon it within minutes and started looting what they thought were boxes of electronic devices. The cops caught a bunch of them.
They must have been starving too. < /sarc >
lolz!
