Del Amo Mall is on High Alert as Police are in Riot Gear with Hundreds of Teens Plan to Loot and Destroy Storefronts


Torrance California 

Currently, a substantial law enforcement presence in riot gear is visible at Del Amo Mall in Torrance, California, following a Facebook group of 150-200 members issuing a post announcing their planned flash mob-style takeover at the mall, coordinating activities such as looting and the destruction of storefronts. Authorities are actively monitoring the situation, leading to the closure of multiple streets, and the mall is now on lockdown as a precautionary measure.


An Ohio county prosecutor warned thieves they should "expect to be shot" when targeting retail stores after indicting a smoke shop manager charged in connection to the fatal shooting of a teenager during an attempted robbery in the Cincinnati area earlier this year.



Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers filed charges on Tuesday against Tony Thacker, manager of VIP Smoke Shop in Delhi Township, for the Oct. 20 shooting, according to a news release from the prosecutor's office. A grand jury indicted him on eight counts, including five felonious assault charges, tampering with evidence and two counts of having weapons under disability as he was not permitted to possess a firearm due to a felony juvenile adjudication.

Thacker, 29, who lived in the back of the smoke shop, emerged from the area just after 1 a.m. on Oct. 20 with a firearm and allegedly shot at a number of suspects who broke into the store by throwing rocks through the windows to gain entry. He fired off multiple shots at the would-be robbers, including 16-year-old Travis Johnson, who was fatally wounded while trying to flee the scene in a stolen vehicle, according to the news release

There is simply no justification for shooting at someone as they are running away," Powers said. "However, I want to make perfectly clear — these retail thefts will not be tolerated. If you try to rob a store, you should expect to be shot."

The prosecutor's office said Thacker then ran to the front of the store and continued to shoot through the front door at the remaining suspects, including 19-year-old Amontae Carter, as he was seated in the back of one of the stolen cars.


"People have the right to stand their ground and protect themselves if somebody breaks into your home or your business," Delhi Township Police Chief Jeff Braun told Fox19 Now. "But as far as when somebody is fleeing away from you — in this case driving away — it's a little hard to say that you're obviously protecting yourself on the driving away."


The prosecutor's office indicted Carter for two counts of murder, two counts of burglary, and one count of possession of criminal tools. He faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison with parole eligibility after 15 years if convicted of all charges
