A massive mob ransacked a Los Angeles gas station and stole thousands of dollars worth of alcohol, condoms and snacks during an illegal street takeover - as cops said they were unable to intervene due to being outnumbered.
Footage from Sunday around 2am showed a group stopping traffic in the Compton intersection of Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue to drift their cars before charging toward a nearby Arco.
Deputies said they couldn't intervene as a mob of about 100 people broke the windows of a mini-mart and wiped it clean because they were outnumbered.
Those involved appeared to be mostly men with face coverings and were seen snagging thousands of dollars worth of goods before all running in different directions.
The store clerk locked himself in the restroom of the mini-mart until the scene cleared.
Police said the street takeover was one of three that occurred in Compton. Only one arrest was made but the cause is unclear.
Another massive takeover involving street racers occurred at Long Beach Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. Police said a total of 500 people were at involved in both illegal events.
Similarly to the ARCO mini-mart incident, the Long Beach Boulevard takeover ended with vandalism and looting. Police said a laundromat was broken into.
While the ages of the group were disclosed, footage from the night showed grinning youngsters smiling as they plucked condoms from the displays clearly unafraid of getting caught.
Compton residents were in fury over the incidents they believe were done by outsiders.

They need midnight basketball more than ever
Until these animals are at our own doors?
Have you heard what the moron-elect mayor said?
No doubt white supremacists from Brentwood.
Gonna be a long, hot summer.
how does a store like this get insurance?
Well that 80 year old white dude did just that
If you're gonna take over a street, doggone it make sure you get the go-ahead from the legislature.
If the authorities cannot keep us safe then they need to get the hell out of the way so that we can keep ourselves safe. This tying our hands so that we are helpless victims is not flying anymore. If they will not stop the problem then they are part of the problem.
Wait until they make everyone buy an EV, and while you’re stuck sitting in line waiting to charge your car, because they don’t have enough charging stations to accommodate everyone in a timely manner, you, and everyone else will be attacked by a mob of Amish people who want what you’ve got. And if they happen to have a building that sells drinks, and other things, that’ll get hit too.
...defund the police....!! do away with all law enforcement resources....! then let these animals tear each other apart...or, better yet, let gas station owners and employees and other small business entities arm themselves against these feral trash...oh, but no.....that would lead to violence...!!
I'm usually against the use of any kind of drugs, but I'd make an exception in cases like this, and provide these ransackers with lethal doses of fentanyl if I could.
I’m sure the communist LA mayor would say the same thing. I’m SO sick of this excuse.
If they promise to use the condoms it might be OK.
One riot, one shotgun. Watch what happens when you blow a hole through the leaders.
