Rampant Flash Mob Robberies Plague Los Angeles Malls

A department store in Los Angeles was hit by a "flash mob robbery" as a group of masked suspects ransacked a fragrance counter and fled the scene. This incident comes on the same day that a task force formed to address flash mob robberies announced the arrest of 11 individuals in connection with four other incidents. The recent string of robberies across the Southland has prompted law enforcement entities to take action against these crimes.
