WALNUT CREEK (CBS SF) — Dozens of looters swarmed into the Nordstrom store in downtown Walnut Creek Saturday night, terrorizing shoppers, ripping off bag loads of merchandise and ransacking shelves before fleeing in a several vehicles waiting for them on the street.
Walnut Creek Lt. Ryan Hibbs told KPIX 5 that police began receiving calls about the looting at around 9 p.m. He said there were approximately 80 individuals who ran into the store and began looting and smashing shelves.
Video shot at the scene shows the masked looters streaming out of the store, carrying bags and boxes, jumping into the cars.
Dozens of police vehicles also responded to the scene.
Hibbs said officers stopped one vehicle and arrested both suspects — a male and a female — inside. The male was charged with robbery, possession of stolen property, conspiracy to commit burglary and possession of burglary tools. The female was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm.
Stolen property from the looting and a firearm was recovered from their vehicle.
A third suspect was caught on foot and arrested. He was also charged with robbery, possession of stolen property, conspiracy to commit burglary and possession of burglary tools.
Brett Barrett is one of the managers of P.F. Chang’s restaurant across from the Nordstrom store. He watched as the bedlam unfolded.
“I probably saw 50-80 people in like ski masks with crowbars, a bunch of weapons,” he said. “They were looting the Nordstrom.”
“There was a mob of people,” he continued. “The police were flying in. It was like a scene out of a movie. It was insane.”
Barrett also worried about the safety of the diners in his restaurant. Many crowded around the windows to watch the looters flee.
“I had to start locking the back door. You never know, they could come right in here. It was crazy…All the guests inside were getting concerned. It was a scary scene for a moment.”
You get what you vote for.
Blue America voting gets Blue America results. Enjoy the suck!
My daughter and I shop at that Nordstrom’s.
No longer.
Somebody always pays, and it isn’t the company executives.
It was a nice country until liberals forced society to collapse.
They are Looters and should be SHOT ON SIGHT
The democrat party militia has now standardized the actions they initiated in the Summer of 2020.
Governor Newsome should be right on top of this - should be speaking out as he was also Mayor of this city.
Speaker of the House Pelosi LIVES in this city and she’s the federal representative.
These people are in charge of the government that is to protect the people of the city that are now under attack... what’s their statement to this domestic terrorism?
Crickets.
Because they are supporting and fomenting this communist insurrection.
The time is now.
This is why looters need to be shot very dead.
California’s gone.
Democrats = cheating and stealing.
the tik tok gang.
The typical liberal response: Okay, so somebody did something. Let’s all move on. Has Trump said anything mean lately? Let’s talk about that.

This happened in the East Bay - Walnut Creek - not SF. The lunacy has spread throughout blue California.
Are these gangs for the Mexican cartels, home-grown gangs from the “hood”, Antifa or BLM raising funds? Obviously well-armed and organized - organized by someone. Someone is profiting. It’s not like 80 people happened to be in the store and some of them were carrying guns for the heck of it and they spontaneously decided to shoplifting.
There is a reason they don’t try this at Bass Pro.
What does history tell us?
How many times has this happened and what followed later?
One example is Germans destroying Jewish stores.
Soros money and district attorneys have consequences.
And, just like that, there were no more shopping malls and retail stores in California.
