Teen Mob Steals Jeans From Chicago Store in a Flash
by Free Britney at .A surveillance video of a Chicago flash mob robbery shows a group of about 20 teens allegedly stealing over $3,000 worth of jeans over the weekend.
CBS 2 reports that Mildblend Supply Co. owner Luke Cho posted the surveillance video on YouTube, hoping the images help police find the teen mob.
That or keep parents on alert, in hopes that the culprits will be outed one way or the other, perhaps shamed enough that they’ll turn themselves in.
A Chicago Police spokesperson said the case is being actively investigated and that tips have been rolling since the video of the robbery went on YouTube.
From the moment the teens started flooding in the door his store on Milwaukee Avenue around 6:40 p.m. Saturday, Cho knew something wasn’t right.
Soon after, he realized he'd been robbed of thousands in merchandise. Flash mobs used as a criminal tool ... what today's teens won't think of next.

These was group shoplifting, not a flash mob. Real flash mobs are not crimes: http://bit.ly/GSMyqd.
Small town? I'm sure you exited on a float? Elusive is what you are. A real 21st century Chameleon. As you were!
@Yep: There's just something about maintaining that shroud of mystery! I can't help it! Multiple identities fascinate me! To be someone different every day is such a lark! I doubt the C.I.A. would take me..don't even think I could get my foot in the door of the sanitation engineering dept. of the F.B.I., but I'll admit it would be a swell career nonetheless! I just can't bring myself to reveal my true identity, so guess the deal's off. Think you're wise though in ignoring me when I'm nasty and rude. It's attention I crave in a dysfunctional way, so getting huffy 'n puffy just plays right into my hands. And I know you're above such a thing! You're simply too smart for me! I will tell you though..I love small things...that include towns. I oughta know--I was raised in one.
@Yep Ok will have convo in am. Maybe work out somehow.
Just don't have it in you do you? Can't give away that identity? Yeah- C.I.A trait I'm guessing / classified and all. Sorry but the deal only worked both ways and if you are indeed male then I'm as queer as a 3 dollar bill. @ Jayhawk-tricky- is what it will be getting those seats together. I checked it out today. Have plenty of time and will discuss in the AM?
