PHILADELPHIA, PA – A group of looters in Philadelphia targeted a Roosevelt Boulevard Wawa causing damage and stealing thousands of dollars in inventory Saturday night.  Surveillance video shows the looters entering the store ransacking shelves, and looting the business.

According to the Philadelphia Police Department, the group entered the 7001 Roosevelt Blvd store at around 8:15 p.m., forcing their way in and wreaking havoc once inside.

The smash and grab looting incident appears to have been coordinated and planned as the large group entered the store at one time with many participants recording the incident on their phones.
