Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday blamed the looting on a “small number of violent protesters.” He said future attempts at looting will be addressed “very, very aggressively.” “That is not something we typically see in the city,” de Blasio said. “That is unacceptable in New York City. That will not be allowed in New York City.”
Among the shops picked clean were Apple, Louis Vuitton, and Coach stores. A group of around a dozen people broke into a Chanel store in Soho and made off with expensive handbags, the Post reports. Police said they arrested around 250 people Sunday night, down from 340 on Saturday. Some were arrested outside of shops in Soho, where looters emptied bags from city trash cans and filled them with products from high-end stores, Bedford and Bowery reports. Bloomingdale’s, Chanel, Rolex, and Diesel stores were looted.More than a dozen bikes were snatched from a shop on Bowery.NBC New York reporter Myles N.
