Band of Thieves Ransack Louis Vuitton Store in Ohio

Band of Thieves Ransack Louis Vuitton Store in Ohio

Hordes of thieves are now sacking and pillaging in areas beyond California.

I recently noted that the crime surge in California from organized gangs has gotten so bad that various types of robberies have begun getting fun, new designations.

Take, for instance, “smash and grab” robberies. One member of the “horde” smashes into the store, while the rest of the pack swoops in to pillage and run.

But “smash and grab” is not confined to California, as there is a report of a dramatic incident in Ohio in which over $100,000 was stolen.

A horde of thieves stole ‘every item on the showroom floor’ of a Louis Vuitton store in Ohio on Wednesday, making off with more than $140,000 in merchandise in just minutes.

Shortly after 3 pm, eight to 10 people clad in ski masks and gloves were dropped off at the entrance to the Kenwood Towne Centre in Kenwood, Ohio, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

They could be seen pushing past store employees to get inside on surveillance footage stills, which have been shared by investigators.

The swarm then stole nearly every piece of merchandise in a matter of minutes, before piling into a dark gray Dodge Durango SUV and a black sedan and peeling away.

The two vehicles were last seen on northbound 1-71, the department said.

More details of the incident are in the following video.

Meanwhile, in California, the “smash and grab” robberies continue in the Los Angeles County area (where District Attorney Gascon’s criminal-friendly policies make the region lawless).

Police are on the hunt for a pair of smash-and-grab robbers they say stole items from a jewelry store in California on Friday night.

The incident was reported just before 7 p.m. at a Kay Jewelers in the Brea Mall, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, police said.

The male suspects used hammers to break display cases at the jewelry store before they stole merchandise and fled the scene, the Brea Police Department tweeted.

…Police posted a photo of the suspects on Twitter, who they described as two Black males in their late teens or early 20s, weighing 170 to 180 pounds. Police said they are between 5 feet 9 inches tall to 6 feet tall.

Additionally, a new “follow home” robbery incident is being reported in Beverly Hills.

The criminals spotted the four victims as they exited a Beverly Grove restaurant at about 1:30 a.m. and proceeded to follow their vehicle in an SUV. Once the diners returned to their rental property on the 2400 block of Coldwater Canyon Drive in Beverly Crest, they were confronted by the suspects and forced inside at gunpoint—with one suspect holding a rifle while the other two were armed with handguns, Los Angeles Police Department Detective Chris Marsden told KTLA.

“They were forced to give over their jewelry. They were also forced inside the home, which is very alarming,” Marsden said.

On the drive back from the restaurant, the group suspected they were being followed, and even passed their residence and made a U-turn before pulling up to the home, but were confronted moments later.

“They did notice a car behind them as they were coming up the canyon,” Marsden told the station.

The victims were forced to lay on the floor while the robbers ransacked the property, robbing them of jewelry, handbags, luxury watches and designer clothing, having already stolen the cash and belongings they had on them in the driveway, for a takeaway total of roughly $75,000, Fox11 reports.

I never thought I would reporting about criminal hordes sacking and pillaging in the great cities of the United States, but here we are.

Please, forced to LIE on the floor.

The store can’t do anything about shoplifters because it’s become untenable to stop them. If they claim they got hurt during the flight and detainment by an “unauthorized” person then they can sue for damages.

Our world has become so backwards and twisted by letting lawyers pervert everything into lawsuit oblivion.

Louis Vuitton?
Excellent.
Now do Nike, Gillette, Starbucks, Disney, and Target.
I’d add the NYT and WaPo, but the fertilizer shortage hasn’t really hit yet.

I seem to note the presence of “protected classes” amongst the robbers. Therefore no crime has been committed if it happened in a Democrat controlled polity because it is reparations and not robbery or theft. The solution is for the businesses to leave Leftist-run areas, perhaps to fortify their stores protecting staff and stock, with controlled entry.

More and more stores are locking their higher ticket items behind glass. But it’s also gong on all over the place as there is no pushback.

It’s not lawyers, is the Democrat/Marxists DAs not enforcing laws, the Democrat politicians getting reparations without a law to minorities.
And CRT being spread around the country.

If we don’t push back it’s only going to get worse
Someone needs to take these pervs down, like Trump should have the antifa

Oh goodness, there is that dog whistle again…gang.

Mmm hmmm.

“Hordes of thieves are now sacking and pillaging in areas beyond California.”

New York,
Chicago,
DC
Philadelphia…

Maybe Louis Vuitton should do like Dartmouth College and demand that Democrat Shoppers Club pay a $3,600 “security fee”.

While the manager at the Louis Vuitton doesn’t know how to stop robbers, the guys at the Korean- or Arab-run convenience grocery stores in the rougher parts of the city do —

— shoot the robbers..

It works amazingly well. Even if you don’t hit the perp they’ll generally drop whatever is in their hands and beat feet through the door.

The Vuitton manager is paid no matter what happens in the store. The Korean and Arab guys — if the merchandise walks out without being paid for, their families don’t eat. And therein lies the difference.

The robbers currently suffer no consequences, legally or otherwise, for robbing the jewelry and high end merchandise stores. Until that changes they’ll keep doing it.

Smash and grabbers: Doing their part to make frontier justice and vigilantism great again!.

There you go, prime democrat policies in action.

The radical DA and other elites pushing policies that result in anarchy will no doubt be shocked to discover one day that anarchy isn’t controllable. By it’s very nature anarchy doesn’t have a limiting principle, like a forest fire it burns everything in its path…unless we create a control line and deliberately back burn towards the fire.

A double-barrel shotgun, poking out through a slit in the ceiling, is a time-honored way of ending armed robberies in small stores in urban areas. Usually the robbers leave quickly, but if one is stupid and points a gun at an employee, the shotgun is overwhelming at short distances.

    Ok, but if lawful order is not restored what you get is a hellish country. Lawful order is not each citizen shooting against gangs; even if it’s his right to do so.

I just got a hoot out of that first picture. Especially that black guy in the middle. Did you really mean to post a picture of his droopy pants and what appears to be his butt crack? Or didn’t you notice. You can also see the same thug’s butt as he runs of in that first Twitter posted picture. Great Maker, you’d think if these ignorant blacks were going to rob a place they’d at least put on a damn belt. But nope. Gotta sag.

Smash and grab – aka “DIY reparations.”

Let me see…

The people who voted for and who support progressive policies are getting ripped off and murdered.

Good. More please. They deserve.

Redistributive change.

Here’s to our progress from a high trust to high force society. One step forward, two steps backward.

Gotta be White Supremacists; they’re the nation’s biggest threat, right? The putative President said so.

Louis Vuitton stores are for whimps. Real men smash and grab at the UnderArmour stores.

So what?
In that store, a hundred grand is just enough to purchase a pair of tennis shoes and a hand-bag.

When you allow a group to violate basic justice in order to repair past injustice, you get more injustice and repair nothing,

It should be obvious, but real life is different from the world of (moralistic) ideas, where most leftists love to inhabit.

Wr Leslie, those cities are no longer great. Nope.. Not by a country mile.

That being said,, the castle doctrine is a thing. Depending on the state, I have heard it is being expanded to include things like your car, or even a business. I hope that is true. Seems that we are heading down the road to vigilantism.

Consistent with the Dumb-o-crats’ race-obsessed lexicon/euphemism, I dub these miscreants “Criminals of Color.”

Playing the sound of a Remington 870 being racked would be fun (a LOT of Remingtons). How about a remote controlled machine gun firing rubber ammo? Maybe some of those wild game nets dropping from the ceiling?

How does there get to be a Louis Vuitton store in that Mall in the first place? It’s Ohio not LA or NYC.

I hear federal law enforcement is leaning towards white nationists.

CINCINNATI INCIDENT – This is not typical in Cincinnati. The thieves are about to find out that the Hamilton County Prosecutor DOES prosecute. Joe Deters has been in the Prosecutor since 1992, with a brief sabbatical as State Treasurer. He is a very tough prosecutor. Since 2021, his office announced there would be no plea deals for crimes with illegal firearms or gun violence. Joe Deters is the last Republican in a city and county that used to be firmly Republican. Republicans moved to neighboring counties, in search of good deals on real estate, while Hamilton County has turned firmly liberal. It’s just a matter of time … but we’re not there yet.

looked more like a troop of baboons
