A woman robs a rite aid near Venice beach in l.A. Armed with a pickaxe. With a pickaxe in her hand and dressed entirely in black, this woman casually entered Rite Aid in broad daylight. After grabbing a tray, stowing everything she needed, and leaving the store, she left for good without paying. A video of her leaving went viral on Twitter.
A woman is seen in this video dragging a basket across the floor of Rite Aid. It was filled with supplies. It took place on Thursday, 23 December, sometime in the morning. Moreover, she threatened employees who attempted to stop her from stealing beauty products
An employee tried to tell her to stop. The woman replied harshly, “I’m not f*****g around.”
Then, she dropped a spray bottle of deodorant into her basket and shouted, “I don’t want to smell like sh** “. With her basket full of merchandise and her pickaxe at the ready, she walks towards the door. Before she left the store, she shouted, “Don’t say sh**. Shut up. Be quiet and follow suit.”
Rite Aid robbery footage created a stir on Twitter
Astonishingly, the incident stunned both the store’s customers and employees. Twitter users expressed their concerns about Los Angeles’ rising crime rate and their reaction to the robbery.
Netizens were outraged when a woman with a PICKAXE shoplifted inside a Rite Aid in broad daylight. One noted that crime in blue states is out of control. “I think it’s safe to say defend the police was the worst slogan ever as AOC doubles down on it just this week.“
Another said that this is what “no bail release” and “defunding the cops” get you. In crime-ridden Los Angeles, a woman armed with a PICKAXE is caught nonchalantly shoplifting at a Rite Aid.
One user argued that this is all part of a conspiracy, allowing crime to worsen to the point where politicians and corporations are pushed to introduce crime-fighting robots, which subsequently stamp out all dissent of the ruling class’s policies. “I am joking, who the hell knows?”
Luckily, no one was injured in this incident, according to the police department. Nevertheless, detectives have not yet determined the value of the products stolen by this female.
