Large mob ransacks South Los Angeles AutoZone; incident may be connected to street takeover
A large mob was seen looting an AutoZone store in South Los Angeles early Monday morning, and the incident was likely connected to a street takeover that took place nearby. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers were dispatched to Hoover Street and Century Boulevard in the Vermont Vista neighborhood around 4:25 a.m. Property was taken, LAPD confirmed, although they did not go into detail on what exactly was stolen. Footage posted to the Citizen App shows a crowd of people outside the store and an adjacent gas station, as tires could be heard screeching in the background. Skid marks were later seen on the street. A woman was heard saying, 'Somebody call 911; they're looting the AutoZone again.' KTLA has previously reported on two incidents that took place at the same location, one in June 2024 and another three months later in September. At least 50 people were said to have been involved in the June incident, with 'hundreds' participating in the September ransacking, according to the LAPD. Police did not disclose exactly how many suspects were involved on Sunday, but did say the incident may be connected to a nearby street takeover.
