‘Flash Mob’ Robbery at DC Convenience Store
Audrey Barnes, My Fox DC, July 24, 2013
“It was crazy. Beyond our control,” says the manager of the King Convenience store in the 1500 block of U Street in Southeast D.C.
He says a flash mob of teens stole candy, soda and other items from his store Saturday night.
“Bunch of kids, more than 20 or 30, grabbed everything,” he says, asking not to be identified. “They grabbed everything and then ran away from the store.”
An employee ran outside to try and stop some of the teens involved in the flash mob. He was confronted by one of them armed with a stick and is now recovering at home from his injuries.
The suspect is described as a black male, 5’8″ tall, 180 pounds, with a medium complexion. {snip}
