In the Washington DC area there have been a number of Flash Mob Robberies.
Authorities and the news media are telling the public that people organize by means of using networking from cellphones to texting to form their groups and walk into a store, overwelm the employees and walk or run out with most of the store.
Most of this has been captured on security cameras and police in one area have ID those involved in one incident and have made arrest.
There have been copy cat incidents because some of this has been placed on the interent like youtube and other viewing programs and in the news.
I just wonder if anyother areas have had this happen and are the police on top of the situation?
Mayor of Wash DC is upset because the news media interviewed people on the street about the story and the citizens were saying these people were doing this because people are losing their jobs so they are stealing food because they have no money. The mayor says this is just out right organized robbery.
