PORTLAND — Portland police are making progress identifying individuals in a flash mob that brazenly walked into a convenience store and walked out without paying for candy and pop.
KATU reports the surveillance video of the incident Saturday night has helped identify students from three north Portland schools, students from Vancouver, Wash., as well as a church basketball team.
The clerk says 16 people strolled into the store and blatantly stole items worth $200 or $300. Some threw things, including a milk crate, at the clerk as they left.
Police have talked to about eight of the suspects who may be charged with shoplifting after the investigation is complete.
