Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Apple store in Philly gets looted by Masked teenagers as iPhone 15s were stolen.




Initial reports of break-ins near Rittenhouse Square began just after 8 p.m., shortly after protesters had dispersed from a peaceful gathering at City Hall, where marchers called for justice for Eddie Irizarry, who was shot and killed by a Philadelphia Police officer last month. Earlier Tuesday, a judge dismissed all charges against the officer who killed him, setting off a wave of outrage in the community.


Stanford was quick to make clear that Irizarry’s supporters had nothing to do with Tuesday night’s unrest. He called the young people who looted “criminal opportunists” who were not affiliated with the earlier gathering.



“This had nothing to do with the protests,” Stanford said. “What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation and try to destroy our city.”


“It’s disgusting,” he said. “Our city can’t afford this nonsense.”


Groups of teenagers ransacked an Apple store in US’s Philadelphia on Tuesday looting iPhones, iPads, and other products, stuffing them into plastic bags before fleeing. The teens, reportedly more than a hundred in number, also attacked other stores before the police showed up.


Videos of the incident shared on social media show police officers trying to grab the looters in Halloween masks as they run riot through the stores. The clips are now viral. Twenty teens have been arrested so far, the police said.


One of the looters, a woman, even livestreamed the chaos, the Daily Mail reported. Identified as Dayjia Blackwell, the woman was sharing clips of the looting on Instagram. She was later also apprehended by the police.


Some of the videos circulating on social media also showed masked people in hoodies running out of a Lululemon store and police officers grabbing several and tackling them to the sidewalk.
