Over 100 arrested as mass looting continues in LA

There were dozens of arrests made during the Monday night looting, with LA Mayor Karen Bass saying that over 100 people were taken into custody, per USA Today. "What we're seeing downtown is just horrible," and then went on to say that most of the protests have been "peaceful."

According to ABC7, multiple stores were ransacked and looted on Monday night. Videos of looters were also shared across social media. An Apple store, an Adidas outlet, a pharmacy, a jewelry store, as well as two dispensaries were hit in the chaos. It was not immediately clear how much was taken from the retail locations.

"There's a lot of videotape, there's investigations that will take place and you will be held accountable - and frankly need to be separated from the people who are really fighting on behalf of our immigrant community," Bass added in her comments about the situation.

Footage posted on social media showed people breaking into CVS as well as looting the Apple store on Monday night. Glass doors and windows to multiple businesses were shattered, and on Tuesday morning, retail staff were seen boarding up their stores.

In reaction to the chaos, police were staged at four major intersections in downtown LA to deter criminality but left in the morning on Tuesday.

The looting on Monday night follows mass looting that took place the night before, where a T-Mobile store was ransacked, as well as a shoe store, and the convenience store of a gas station. Police arrested at least 42 on Sunday night.
