San Francisco Dist. Atty. Chesa Boudin said that he has charged nine people with felonies in a series of shoplifting incidents that included a mass smash-and-grab at Union Square luxury stores.
At least 40 thieves allegedly broke into a Louis Vuitton store on Friday, grabbing whatever they could before loading it into a series of cars parked curbside out front. The shoplifting caravan cut a swath through San Francisco's high-end boutiques, creating a scene of chaos while stealing more than $1 million in merchandise.
Boudin said two of the nine people were charged for possession of firearms during the Friday incident. He said the nine face charges of grand theft, commercial burglary and possession of stolen goods at the felony level.
The district attorney said he would seek in court to keep two of those charged behind bars because of the nature of their alleged crimes.
Any thing about New York City Smach and Grab? Just a thought.
