Mobs of Thieves Target High-End Retailers in Brazen Los Angeles Heists

A group of around 50 people ransacked a Nordstrom store in Los Angeles, stealing up to $100,000 in merchandise.
The thieves used bear spray against security guards and fled in waiting vehicles with removed license plates.
A Nike store was also targeted in a similar daylight robbery, with around $1,000 in goods stolen.
Authorities believe organized crime or gangs could be behind the thefts, which may involve selling stolen goods on the black market.
Officials condemn the robberies and are increasing police presence at malls while investigating connections between the incidents.
