A Los Angeles Nike store was hit by a pack of thieves who stuffed merchandise into trash bags and took off just days after an area Nordstrom was targeted similarly.
Video posted Sunday on the Citizen App shows the shocking robbery at the crowded Nike Community Store on Whittier Blvd. in East Los Angeles.
The robbery took place Saturday evening and involved two women and one man who were seen grabbing shoe boxes before exiting the store.
The incident is just the latest in a string of similar events where a group of thieves ransacks a store, overwhelming employees and getting away with thousands.
Around the same time on Saturday, a mob struck the Topanga Westfield Nordstrom, smashing and grabbing some $100,000 from cases near the store's entrance.
The Nordstrom robbery was the second occurrence of its kind within a week.
According to officials with the Los Angeles Police Department, the robbery happened just after 5.30pm in the 4500 block of Whittier Blvd.
In the video, a male suspect is seen dropping his bag filled with shoe boxes and scrambling to clean it up as his conspirators continue.
Other guests are seen walking around the store unbothered as the man cleans up the disassembled shoes and then continues out of the store.
Two women are seen in similar situations, walking with trash bags full of clothing and shoes and leading the man out of the store.
In the latest incident, the group got away with roughly $1,000 in merchandise.
It's unclear if the group fled on foot or if they had a getaway car waiting outside the store.
As of Monday morning, police said all three suspects are still at large.

Yeah super lefty corporations like Nike should be immune from this for some reason but aren’t.
its gangs of illegals, from Haiti or Africa, who have been brought to USA by criminal gangs specifically to steal from fat, stupid, Americans.
My daughter works at a CBD and Marijuana Dispensary and they ransacked it at 2am. Several cars drove up, broke the door down and went in and filled sacks full of merchandise. The really good stuff was in a safe and they didn’t get it. I saw the security camera and they were all belonging to the race of professional victims.
But, your friend probably voted for it.
Blue America. Vote Blue, get Blue.
Absolutely!
Vote Third World, Get Third World
Gee, if only someone could figure out the root cause of these incidents.
Keep voting Democrat California.
That’ll never happen because it’ll just add costs to businesses and besides a lot of stuff sold online isn’t in brick-and-mortar stores.
A blind man could see this coming a decade ago.
The usual animal species, of course?
The folks living on the street need to ‘make a living”.
“ A super lefty friend who lives in Topanga Canyon is finally very upset about lawlessness in California because, for the first time, it’s close to home. “
Gosh it’s almost like having police and laws enforced might help.
Strange idea
This seems to come up in some reviews on Amazon, that an item wasn't as originally presented, may be of dubious origin.
Some items I'd rather buy direct from the retailer for that very reason.
“Put 50 Gucci Handbags in a display window with Bank note dye bombs. They get more than 50 feet from the building, ka-boom.”
Why not actual bombs? IEDs?
That Nike App really comes in handy.
Why don’t we ever see these people stealing from a bookstore like Barnes & Noble?
