A massive police presence swarmed a stretch of Walnut Street between 15th and 18th streets around 9 p.m. Videos posted to X, formerly called Twitter, shows retail stores like Lululemon, the Apple Store and Footlocker ravaged by looters.
FOX 29's Steve Keeley obtained video of the ransacked Apple Store with iPhones and iPads scattered across the display tables. Keeley reports that Apple many of the stolen Apple products were left behind when the thieves realized the device's anti-theft technology rendered them inactive.
Looting was also reported in North Philadelphia where thieves struck retail stores like GameStop and Walmart. SkyFOX hovered over a Family Dollar in West Philadelphia that appeared to have been pillaged by looters.
Several arrests were made, according to Keeley, but police have not confirmed how many people were placed in custody.
