PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police are investigating another flash mob theft by a group of teens, this time at Nordstrom at the Lloyd Center.
Last week, a group of 16 teens converged on a Southeast Portland convenience store and stole merchandise and then ran out. Police are still investigating the incident.
Friday's incident happened just after 8 p.m. Police interviewed employees of the store who said a group of approximately 10 African-American male teenagers were in the store and began taking items and putting them in bags before they ran out the southwest doors of the store toward Northeast 9th Avenue.
Police who checked the area recovered some of the stolen clothing, but did not find the teens, who are ages 13-19 years old and all wearing hats and hoodies with their faces covered.
Cherise Vanhooser, who works at Lloyd Center, wasn't surprised at the incident.
"Kids steal all the time at the Lloyd center," she said. "I mean, I'm constantly dealing with it at work. I know a lot of the other managers are. It's just a constant problem. You always have to have someone on the floor because you can't trust anybody."
Police said they will work with Nordstrom officials to get surveillance video to help their investigation.
Anyone with information about this theft should email information to Portland Police.
“If (and I do have 2) I had a son”, he sure wouldn’t look/act like them. I’m sure their mother was on “some corner, somewhere, in some neighborhood, sometime”.
Social justice for what? Social justice for Muslim Arabs selling black Africans into slavery? They’re doing it yet today. Mob-robbers need to be shipped back to their precious Africa. Didn’t the U.S. give them their own country in Africa?
I disagree. The convenience stores and shopping malls are just the beginning. Office buildings, pharmacies, homes (especially the "mansion" type homes), hijacking pricey vehicles on the highway are some possibilities. I think thefts by masses of the "orcs and zombies" will start to occur more frequently when these mobs realize how easy it is to get away with it.
How many people have been prosecuted for the mob attacks that are seen so frequently on YouTube? These savages are counting on the "Race Card" to protect them from being shot. And they have plenty of reasons to think it will work.
OMG...the day I hooked school, I prayed my mom would accidentally drive off the mountain before we got home.
{{{shudder}}}
It was *not* a pleasant homecoming.
I put the blame squarely on the evil LBJ and his "Great Society" that has destroyed the black family.
“...track-mounted nun...”
We had one of those, too! “Robo-Nun” (Sister Something) was everywhere with that damned ruler! LOL!
The original WMD: Weapon of Metacarpal Destruction! Ours had brass endcaps on hers...
LOLOL! I had a couple of those days, too! I prayed for flat tires, blown-up engines, tornadoes, floods - whatever - to keep her away from the house for a while.
I volunteer at our small local hospital. Used to be, the pharmacy window in the hospital was open from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. A few months ago, they started locking it during the day - you have to ring a bell, and wait for a pharmacy attendant. There isn't even a clear window, so you can't see in. This is a small town on the Oregon Coast - not many minorities, but a lot of white, meth-head trash.
That is not a "flash mob". That is gang activity.

Our Sister Something would distract us with that ruler and then swing a sock filled with rolls of dimes at the backs of our heads. When the “stars” finally cleared and we were able to get off the floor, we wouldn’t know what hit us. How she got away with a swinging-sock thing is still a mystery. Father What’s-His-Name just smiled and approved, everytime. LOL.
Wearing hoodies might be a good sign - seems a few don't want a record.
To the others - the ones who aspire to collect disability as part of a 'mentally disabled' scam - their quick ticket to the parasite class - they don't need the hoodie... a few crimes might help...
When they ALL stop wearing them is when we have to worry.
Nordy’s has superior surveillance. Hope they get real close up mug shots of the lil plicks.
Yes, it is going to be a long, hot summer — especially if Barack Obama decides he may lose the election and has to call out his brown-skinned Brown Shirts to whip the dissenters into line. There is no doubt in my mind that the whole assault on Zimmerman whetted the thugs’ appetite for more black mob rule.
I’m sorry, but I’ve had it. And if someone who reads this wants to call me a “racist,” have at it. I’m fed up.
It’s time we recognize that there is a massive racial divide in this country — and it is caused by those on the black side of it. Let’s be clear: I’m white — and every day in just about every way, I find I can no longer relate to those on the black side of the racial divide.
What they did at this mall is symptomatic of what they have done in mall after mall in city after city in this country. They move in on what once was a lovely, friendly mall, dominated by whites, and they wreak havoc.
One of the first malls in Baltimore (where I grew up back when it was a white, safe, and lovely city) was called Mondawmin. People would come from a hundred miles away to enjoy its ambiance. Then, the blacks moved in. They systematically trashed and destroyed that once wonderful mall. And now, it is unsafe for civilized shoppers.
They did the same at the malls in Edmondson Village, Northwood, Security Boulevard, Reisterstown Road, and Owings Mills. The malls were beautiful before the blacks arrived. With their violent, vulgar, filthy behavior, they destroyed them. And now the malls are disgusting shells of themselves.
They have done the same to our cities, our towns, and even the individual streets in towns where they took over. And now, whipped into one of their frequent emotional frenzies by Mr. Zimmerman having the gall to defend himself, they are demanding an end to “profiling” — while really means that when their hooded gangs move in for the kill, the rest of us are supposed to bend over, grab our ankles, and meekly await our horrifying end.
It’s time to face the sordid facts: the reason so many blacks are looked upon with suspicion is because so many blacks commit outrageous crimes — or support those who do.
Make no mistake about it, Barack Obama’s “Travon looks like my son” was a coded message to his brown skin Brown Shirts that it was time to begin the mob rule.
And the sad fact is: it has worked.
That is what places of business are going to have to resort to. In some high-crime places the convenience type stores use pass-through windows. The customer has to ask for what they want and the attendant gets it and passes it through the recessed drop area. The glass is bullet proof. I think all convenience stores should go to this system. If things don’t get better, all stores will have to adopt some form of this method.
My dad worked second shift at the prison so he’d be leaving as I was coming home and I’d run in the house, change clothes, grab the dog and the horse and take off into the mountains until after dark.
That gave mom time to chill out and by the time dad got home I was asleep.
I got very good at evasive maneuvers....;D
Nordstroms? What in that high end fashionista palace could possibly interest black teen males? I think this is a ‘hit whitey’ thing.
“If I’d pulled crap like this as a teen, I wouldn’t have the guts to go home ever again ‘cuz I know my dad would’ve been waiting for me with a switch.”
Well, things are different now, starting with the fact that you actually knew who and where your father was.
