Compton Street Takeover Results in Gas Station Looting by Huge Mob

A mob of about 100 people ransacked an Arco mini-mart in Compton, Los Angeles, stealing thousands of dollars worth of goods, including alcohol, condoms, and snacks. Police said they couldn't intervene because they were outnumbered. The incident occurred during an illegal street takeover, one of three that occurred in Compton that night. The other two takeovers involved street racers and ended with vandalism and looting. The incidents have sparked outrage among Compton residents who believe they were caused by outsiders.
