One of the thugs arrested for looting and ransacking businesses in Philadelphia earlier this week was already out on bail for a murder case from last year.
As Slay News reported, gangs of brazen criminals ransacked businesses in Pennsylvania’s largest city on Tuesday after murder charges against a police officer were dropped in a case related to a fatal shooting.
Police said thugs erupted in a stealing spree after a judge decided to drop charges against a cop who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry.
The unruly crowd outnumbered responding officers as they went from store to store in Center City, the main dining and shopping scene in downtown Philadelphia, local news reported.
Videos on social media show crowds of crooks lifting merchandise and stuffing it in large plastic bags.
