The search for a group of at least 30 suspects who orchestrated a “flash mob” robbery at the Yves Saint Laurent store in Glendale’s Americana at Brand mall is ongoing, according to the police. The incident took place at around 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday, with the suspects quickly overwhelming the store. They made off with clothing and other items before fleeing on foot and in multiple vehicles, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately $300,000 in merchandise. Flash mob burglaries like this involve a coordinated group rushing into a store, overpowering the staff, and swiftly stealing as much as possible before making their escape.
The crime was captured on video and circulated widely. Glendale Mayor Dan Brotman expressed deep concern over the incident, emphasizing the threat it posed to the community’s safety and well-being. Rick Caruso, the mall’s owner, is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects responsible. Caruso’s company is dedicated to maintaining a secure and family-friendly environment across all of its properties and will not tolerate criminal activity.
