Possible Flash Mob Hits Maryland 7-Eleven, Police Say

A pack of 30 teens helped themselves to items in a Maryland 7-Eleven early Sunday morning in what authorities have labeled another instance of a possible flash mob.

The store, which is located in Germantown, Md., was empty at 2 a.m. Sunday morning when a group of teenagers calmly walked in and picked out items as though they were shopping. Then, just as calmly as they entered the store, police say, they exited without paying for the items.

Police say surveillance video shows a pack of 30 teens helping themselves in a Maryland store.

A surveillance video from the store obtained by FoxNews.com shows a large group of teens taking candy and other snacks. They appear quiet during the incident and some appear to cover their faces with their shirts in an apparent attempt to avoid identification.

“As criminals go, they were pretty neat,” Howard Hersh, a spokesman from the Montgomery County police. “There were no injuries and they didn’t ransack the store.”

1. Little fuckers. Hope they throw the book at 'em. Organized looting ought to
be a special category of crime, with larger penalties.

No points for neatness, either.

3. It'll never happen. If they criminalize organized looting, they'd have to shut down Wall St. n/t

6. This has already been posted.
And I will say again - I cannot imagine wanting junk food enough to risk jail time.

I think it is pathetic.

9. oh great...prepare for more "scary black people" talk from the right wing
I think that now is a good time to be politically correct. We shouldn't let an entire ethnic group of people carry the burden of wrongdoings of a few idiots.
