All liquor stores in Philadelphia have been closed due to looting that occurred after peaceful protests against a judge’s decision to dismiss charges against a former police officer. Police have made numerous arrests and are prepared to make more if necessary. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has closed 49 retail stores after 18 were looted, with no reported employee injuries. The stores will remain closed until it is safe to reopen and the damage is repaired. The city’s mayor and officials are committed to protecting public safety and businesses. Police resources will be increased, and consequences will be faced by anyone engaging in criminal activity. So far, 52 people have been arrested, including three juveniles. The looting was carried out by opportunists and not directly connected to the protests. The looters targeted various businesses in different neighborhoods, and investigations are ongoing to connect the incidents. Cell phone videos show the looters ransacking stores, including an Apple store. Retailers across the country are struggling with store crimes, impacting their profits.
