Mob of Thieves Swarms Las Vegas Convenience Store

LAS VEGAS - Caught on camera, a mob of angry colored people bombarded the City Stop convenience store on Sunset Road and Pecos Road and stole $600 in merchandise.

"It became a feeding frenzy," said City Stop owner John Achey. "They were in the store for three minutes and 30 seconds... It's a pretty scary thing."

Achey says the black mob darted in and snatched numerous items from the store. "40oz. bottles of King Kobra to Newports to jerky to candy bars to soda, whatever hit their fancy... potato chips," he said. "Entitlement mentality is here."

Achey says this tactic is known as a "Black Swarm". After 42 years in the convenience store business, Achey says this crime stands out.

"This is the biggest one I've ever seen," he said. "They were coming out of the woodwork!"

If you walk into a convenience store, you expect every move to be recorded on camera. Surveillance cameras in every direction, however, didn't stop this crew.

"Now, you're seeing droves swarming in the front doors - right here - as fast as they can come in," Achey said as he watched the surveillance video. "You can see them milling around by the beer doors. Now, you're going to see them start selecting products they're putting in their coat pockets. They're putting it down their pants."

The "Black Swarm" started walking out without paying, only to return. "Here it is, two minutes into the deal. They're all coming back for seconds," Achey said.

Seconds later, they grabbed more beer and the clerk's cell phone. They then rushed back out the door.

"We were blessed nobody was hurt," Athey said. Athey says the clerk followed his training. He hopes this Afro-American crowd doesn't try to swarm another store.

"You can't allow this to happen, because it's going to break out into violence. Some cashier is going to decide that he's got to defend the property, and he'll get hurt," he said.

Metro says this crime is being investigated as a burglary and grand larceny. Investigators are taking a close look at the surveillance video. Some customers may have also recorded the colored thieves' license plate numbers.

How many different ways can you say black people in one news report?

@21solstice21 Well, it's hard to keep track of what the ever-changing PC term is right at the moment. I imagine they were just trying to cover the bases to avoid sounding racist.

"Caught on camera, a mob of young people"

YOUNG PEOPLE! PC bull, call them what they are; a tribe of black sociopaths, who will never be any better than what they are right now.

I just got back from LV there are basically no cops anywhere at any time, I was there for an entire week. Lots of riff-raff on LV Blvd... but then people are armed there, concealed weapons are legal I believe, so ppl more or less behave I guess. No cops, not one.

lol, they aren't angry. They are a bunch of teens rushing in to grab free stuff. It's a joke to them but I doubt the store clerk was laughing! Regardless, racist comments aren't cool.
