*Oh Lord, this is not a good look. And you know what we mean. In Wisconsin, 10 young black men “mobbed up” and overran a North Face outlet store.
The men – who were caught dead to right on video – are accused of stealing $30,000 in jackets and other clothing.
As you can see in the video above from the Pleasant Prairie Police Department, the men swarm the shop, then get ta grabbing huge armfuls of merchandise before rushing out.
The takedown went down this past Monday evening at the Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets, around 39 miles from Milwaukee, about an hour before closing time, according to the Daily Mail which also reports that the brazen gang was in and out of the North Face store within 30 seconds.
“Ten black males entered the store and each grabbed as much merchandise as they could carry before running to the cars and leaving the property,’ said Sgt. Aaron Schaffer of the Pleasant Prairie Police Department told Kenosha News.
“It was like a flash mob,” Schaffer added.

As you can also see via the video, the store’s employee’s smartly didn’t interfere with the heist. They were also too scared, said authorities, but they did call the cops immediately.
“It really is a matter of a number of people coming in, overwhelming a staff of employees,” Police Chief David Smetana told Fox6 News.
“This was an organized group. They had planned this out, they had traveled to this outlet knowing which stores they were going to hit,” Smetana said.
‘This isn’t a group of ten people walking by a store and coming up with an idea to hit it,’ the police chief added.
Sgt. Schaffer said the suspects remain at large.
Meanwhile, investigators are examining the surveillance video from inside and outside of the store in an attempt to get identify the suspects.
“We’ve seen it before. Not to this level, in my recent history,’ Chief Smetana told Fox6.
“Through the work of our detectives in contacting other agencies and other stores they’ve seen recently, they’ve seen similar attacks go on at these stores,” he added.
North Face specializes in outdoor wear and gear and its jackets retail for up to $650 each.
Police are investigating whether the group is linked to other similar robberies in the area, including a recent shoplifting at an outlet mall in Aurora, Illinois, which remains under investigation, reports the Daily Mail.
