, masked thieves in Pasadena, California, looted $500,000 in merchandise from a jewelry store after pepper-spraying the owner, Sam Babikian.
“As soon as I opened the door, I got pepper sprayed right in my eye, my throat, my mouth,” Babikian said. “I couldn’t see anything. Then I could hear was smashing and grabbing.” “Most of my merchandise is gone,” he added. “Most of the showcases are empty. This one hurts. I’m very grateful they did not harm me, they did not fight. Thank God that nothing happened to me and I’m still alive.”
Fifty people stormed a Los Angeles Nordstrom department store and made off with $60,000 to $100,000 in stolen merchandise on Saturday, leaving broken glass and overturned displays in their wake.
