The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told Eyewitness News thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise was stolen and serious damage was done to the store.
“It’s unbelievable. Unreal. I’ve never seen anything like that happen here,” said Greg Johnson, a Compton resident and customer of the Arco looted.
Another Compton resident, Tamara, said just the fact that a mob of people went around the city scares her. The mob of people period,” she said. “You don’t know how they are going to react once they get in. And if someone is in there I know that they are terrified.”
Investigators said shots were fired about a block away from the store raid though no injuries were reported. One person was detained, but no arrests have been made.
