WATCH: Mass Looting of Gucci at L.A.’s Century City Mall
Breitbart ^ | 08/03/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

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.

Stores have gotten away in recent years, many years actually, with very little protection against shoplifting or looting.

We still live in a relatively "high trust" society, although by comparing it to 50+ years ago, you can see the trend, and how we have steadily declined. The coming commercial real-estate crisis, recession and Deep-state vote-rigging and control will knock us down yet another level. I believe in another 30 years, we will look like central America.

Leftists and political opportunists benefit from destroying societal trust.

Can’t here in PA. “Castle Doctrine” provides only in self-defense of life and perp(s) must also have a deadly weapon. demonKKKrats have butchered that law, in the criminals’ favor.

If Gucci was smart all those items would be cheap knock-off’s as decoys.

With bank-type die packs rigged to detonate at a specified distance from the store doors. And maybe some itching powder or skin burning substance.

“No sympathy. Gucci makes nothing that anyone really needs.”

Agreed—if the rich lefties care let them deal with it.

I think we just sent a bunch of state department employees home from that unstable African country....

This is not rocket science.

Mexicans in their communities have no problem protecting their businesses from thugs. And thugs know not to enter Mexican communities from the way that thugs are severely treated.

Insurance should refuse to pay off.

indeed, since the store and its 'security' did nothing whatsoever to stop it.

“Leftists and political opportunists benefit from destroying societal trust.”

Our leaders and the media are trying to make us multicultural. Different cultures shall we say don’t fully trust each other. Our non-caucasian cultures are living less well than the caucasians, and the pressure is on for the latter to help the former, and as a matter of fact the latter are pressured by the group you mention to feel guilt for the plight of the former.

Take soups. Heinz has 57 kinds. Each has its appeal, but do you imagine you would like a mixture of all of them?
