At least $12,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from a Nike store inside a Los Angeles mall. American media report on 17 suspects; four women and 13 men aged between 15 and 20 years.
The group of thieves broke into the store on South Alameda Street in the South Gate neighborhood last Sunday around 5:50 p.m. local time, but the news only came to light in recent days when security camera videos were released.
The young people had covered their faces with anti-Covid masks. They took clothes and shoe boxes, put them in blue garbage bags and left the store. No arrests have been made at this time.
Los Angeles and New York are the US cities that have seen the biggest increase in shoplifting in the last four years. (A2 Televizion)
