Sheriff's deputies in Compton are returning to their patrol duties following a chaotic weekend that involved a series of street takeovers and a mob of looters that left a trail of destruction at local stores. Video captured a wild scene at an Arco gas station where a large group was caught on video bum-rushing the store and stealing thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise. LASD said deputies "couldn't intervene with the giant takeover groups for safety concerns" and because they were "outnumbered." One person was detained, but no arrests have been made.
