Police confirmed Wednesday that a group of at least nine men had looted a Gucci store Monday at the Westfield Century City mall in Los Angeles, one of the most popular and upscale shopping centers in the city.
Video footage emerged almost immediately:
Breitbart News reached out to the management of the mall for confirmation and comment, and received no response. However, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed the event on Wednesday. The Los Angeles Times reported:
The Gucci store at a mall in Century City was robbed Monday by a large group of thieves, in a grab-and-dash heist that was caught on video, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and video of the incident.
A group of at least nine men could be seen sprinting out of the store around 3:10 p.m. Monday in video posted to Twitter. The LAPD confirmed that there was a robbery at a store at Westfield Century City mall. It was not immediately clear if the men were armed or if anyone was injured.
…
Bystanders looked on and took video, while a lone security guard walked helplessly behind the men as they sprinted away, the video shows. A suited man who appeared to work for Gucci could be heard on the phone calling the police.
The Century City mall is in the heart of west Los Angeles, near the Fox studio lot and surrounded by office complexes housing Hollywood’s top agents and entertainment lawyers.

What can security guards do? Shoot them?
Then the guard would be prosecuted for assault or murder, and Gucci would be sued for tens of millions.
Nothing will change until the law permits armed defense of property.
People who annoy us?🤔
Well, I live in L.A., so I care.
“What happens when all food stores go under from theft”
They’ll simply go further afield to the suburbs and rob delivery trucks as they’re doing now. Yet more reason for the woke AWFL’s to blame Trump since they “care” (always uttered with a trembling voice and earnest look on their face).
The cities will be come total retail deserts and delivery drivers and companies will refuse make deliveries.
I tried to watch all I got was some female robot 🤖 voice
Yet, you people in CA continue to put prosecutors in office who now think it's okay to steal, as long as it's less than $1000. You'd think you'd learn your lesson, but evidently not.
All rioters, looters, arsonists should be summarily shot on sight.
FINALLY the video loaded
Teens? Will Obama be claiming then as his sons?
Shrink is tax deductible.
Do you pay taxes?
In Texas, you can use deadly force to protect your property after dark. Just sayin’.
Seems like they should plant some time activated dye bombs in the merch.
A, Shrink..psychiatrist?
B. Yes, do pay taxes..
Lots big fashion houses are really woke and left wing.
No sympathy. Gucci makes nothing that anyone really needs.
Otherwise I'd describe them by another word.
waiting for the usual suspects to appear and defend the black perps.
They don’t arrest blacks for stealing. Why would anyone else pay?
Next question is why don’t merchants protect their stores?
Why are people so afraid of young blacks? Is it the hoodies? Defend yourselves!
When are the left and the left voters going to wake up? This only gets worse.
“It is in no way ‘security’”
Stores have gotten away in recent years, many years actually, with very little protection against shoplifting or looting.
It has been cheaper for them to minimize their number employees and let a little theft occur.
“The security guard is there merely for show...”
My dad always said that locks are to keep honest people honest. A criminal will ignore a lock or in this case a security guard.
White liberal ‘elites’ protect the criminal class - that’s why it’s getting larger. That’s why citizens living in these communities who ARE NOT criminals live lives filled with fear. And it’s why low life’s like Biden are President.
