A group of masked individuals ran off with several designer bags and clothes in a “flash mob” robbery at a mall in the Canoga Park neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday night, and part of it was caught on camera.
The robbery, which was captured on video and obtained by Traffic News LA, was reported at around 6 p.m. at Westfield Topanga mall. The video showed what appeared to be masked young men grabbing the items and running off while leaving a messy path behind them.
The robbery took place at the mall’s Valentino store, which is a high-end Italian fashion brand.
As of Saturday, it wasn’t clear how many items were stolen. There were about 10 suspects, according to TNLA.
The Valentino is next door to the Nordstrom store that was robbed in similar fashion just last week. According to TNLA, as much as $60,000 in merchandise was stolen in that flash mob robbery.
No additional details were immediately made available.
