WATCH STUPID TEEN MOB ROB UPSCALE STORE OF $3K IN JEANS

(BlackMediaScoop) How stupid can you really be in 2012 to rob a store with NO mask – LOL – I can’t wait until these little thugs are caught and put in jail!

A clothing store in a trendy Chicago neighborhood is one of the latest victims of a so-called flash mob robbery — when a large group storms into a shop to collectively rip off a retailer.

About 20 people entered the Mildblend Supply Co. in Wicker Park, together grabbing more than $3,000 worth of high-priced denim jeans, according to police.

“I’ve gotten somewhat immune to the shoplifting here with young people, but this one was certainly different,” store owner Luke Cho told NBC 5 Chicago Sunday.

“They completely overwhelmed us,” Cho told NBC 5. “I went to lock the door and there were a dozen more waiting to come in.”

The frantic scene was caught on store surveillance, which was posted on YouTube.

The youngsters are seen milling around one section of the store and rummaging through the stacks of jeans. At least one of them is caught stuffing a pair into his backpack as the group begins filing out of the store.

He said the thieves were interested in a brand called Nudie Jeans, which retail for about $200 a pair.

“They knew what they wanted and went straight for it,” Cho said, according to NBC 5.

It took police about 30 minutes to get to the store because the outdoor festivities closed off local streets, Cho said.

No one was arrested in connection to the thefts, police said Sunday.

Other flash mobs have been caught on tape stealing in recent months, including teens who robbed and trashed a Seattle-area supermarket in June.
