About 80 people were detained and two men were arrested in a flash mob style robbery late Saturday night in Huntington Beach, police said.

Huntington Beach police received a call from a witness 11:08 p.m. regarding a strong-arm robbery occurring at the 7-Eleven at 706 Pacific Coast Highway, Officer Jennifer Marlatt said.

Right, as usual.

The group then got onto a private party bus that drove north on Pacific Coast Highway. Officers stopped the bus a short distance away, Marlatt said. There were about 80 people on the bus, requiring Huntington Beach police to request assistance from Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Seal Beach and Laguna Beach police departments, she said.

Desegregation busing takes on new meaning.

Not HTB, but they were born in LA, Inglewood, and raised out of Hawthorne area. I think Jardine was from Ohio, but also raised in Hawthorne.

flash mob style robbery?

I'd guess they picked the wrong town.☺

[rainee]

& they picked the busiest 7-11 during a busy Saturday night..unless that was the plan.
PCH & Main St. packed on weekends.

I am curious whose money actually paid for the bus!

[dragnet2]

And you can bet the rent most of those are not locals.

[rainee]

Definitely not & HB, Newport cops don’t mess around.

Obie’s sons again ...

It’s because they have to put up with out-of-towners, drunks, party goers and obnoxious tourist 24/7. So they’re pretty much on it.

How many ‘1st time offenders’ in the mix?

Guessing.... 0

Hope they dusted for fingerprints. 2 arrested sure doesn’t seem to be a job well done.

[dragnet2]

It’s because the cops have to see someone committing a crime or have witnesses pointing suspects out. Through their investigation, store videos etc, employee statements, there will likely be more arrests. But their can’t just arrest people for running or standing around in large groups.

Suspicions confirmed.

What, no video of Africans actually working at something. Thievery is their job.

[funfan]

More like BLM members if you ask me. A picture is worth a thousand words.

“Seven loaded handguns were recovered on the bus. During the investigation, officers arrested Isiah Bryant, 21, of Los Angeles and Wynzel Worthan, 18, of Compton on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy. They were booked into Huntington Beach Jail.
