Apple, Nordstrom Stores Hit in Last Minute Smash-and-Grab Robbery in California
[BREITBART] The string of high-end store robberies continued in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Wednesday with a last-minute smash-and-grab operation at Apple and Nordstrom stores while shopping continued for the holidays.

"Thieves rushed into a Southern California Nordstrom store the night before Thanksgiving and ran off with pricey goods in the latest in a string of organized retail thefts," the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.

The AP report noted that five people, one of whom was wearing an orange wig, entered the Nordstrom store located in the Westfield Topanga Mall in the Canoga Park area of Los Angeles.

The group entered the open store shortly before 7:00 p.m. local time. Law enforcement said the group took "seven to eight high-end purses before fleeing in a grey Ford Mustang."

"It’s unfortunate because these people that are here are just trying to shop for the holidays [and] for their families," said LAPD Deputy Chief Alen Hamilton, according to KCAL. "We’ve deployed extra officers here. It just so happened that this was one part of the mall where they were able to get in and get out, even with our officers being deployed here."

The LAPD reportedly started a special task force composed of veteran robbery-homicide detectives, who were on patrol at the mall; however, the suspects had picked a moment when law enforcement was not around.

KCAL reported that a security guard at the store confronted the thieves but was attacked and sprayed in the face with chemical spray. While law enforcement is still trying to determine what type of chemical was sprayed on the security guard, he was treated at the scene and later transported to a local hospital.

[FoxNews] Tools stolen Friday from a Home Depot store -- such as crowbars, mallets and sledgehammers -- will likely be used in future crimes, authorities fear.

#1 Yes lieutenant, I recognize each of them. They said they were shopping for lawn mowers, then they just started smashing the jewelry cases.

#3 Wonder when it will catch on who occupied the adjoining crosses on Mount Calvary. Showed remarkable success in deterring recidivism.

#5 We can't live any longer with these savages in the same country.

We either separate from them or start taking action directly against these little monsters who are trying to blow up the foundations of our civilization.

#6 Meh. Red on red. Maybe when the woke corporate big wigs wake up I'll have a little sympathy for them. But for now I think they're getting exactly what they deserve.
