LOS ANGELES, CA — Los Angeles police said one person was arrested after a South Los Angeles grocery store was allegedly looted in the wake of an apparent street takeover early Saturday morning. Officers responded to a burglary call at Superior Grocers near Manchester Avenue and Crocker Street at 4:41 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The caller told authorities the burglary was happening at the scene of a street takeover and that multiple suspects were involved. Police said one person was taken into custody on suspicion of looting. Video from the scene showed merchandise scattered across the store floor.

Police Account

The Los Angeles Police Department said the reported burglary and the takeover were connected. In the account provided by police, the store was targeted after the street gathering was already underway, and investigators said multiple people were involved in the incident.

A resident interviewed by CBS Los Angeles said the repeated takeovers have become a source of frustration across Los Angeles County. The resident blamed parents for allowing the behavior, reflecting a broader sense of anger among neighbors who have seen the events disrupt streets and businesses.

Business And City Response

CBS Los Angeles said it reached out to Superior Grocers for comment and had not received a response. The chain’s response, or any losses tied to the burglary, had not been detailed in the information released Saturday.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a statement after being asked about the incident. She called what happened at Superior Grocers unacceptable and said anyone involved in a street takeover or a crime tied to one would be held accountable.

Another clip showed drivers getting close to onlookers, fireworks going off, and a woman falling out of a car while it was doing donuts.
