Flash mob flash robs a Maryland 7-Eleven (VIDEO)

 

Last Saturday morning at 1:36 A.M. (according to the video time stamp), over two dozen teens stormed a Maryland 7-Eleven convenience store, stole items off the shelves and out of the coolers and left the store within 60 seconds.

The surveillance video shows the suspects casually filing into the store and then grabbing candy, drinks and other items before exiting with same focused calm as when they entered. The event does not appear violent, but the sheer number of like-minded participants does seem intimidating. Whether the mass shoplifting in Maryland can technically be called a flash mob is up for debate.
