And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano.

Today is Wednesday, September 27th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. More than a dozen people were arrested after a massive

group of juvenile looters ransacked businesses across Philadelphia.

The chaos started at 730 after numerous 911 calls stated a large group, possibly as many as 100 or so, moving through Center City.

The group of people took items from the foot locker store at 8 p.m. on the 1,500 block of Chestnut Street and Center City.

Several juveniles fled the scene, but at least one adult was arrested, police say.

Subsequent incidents of looting were reported in quick succession at 812.

Officers responded to a call of looting at the Lulu Lemon, located on the 1700 block of Walnut Street.

In this case, officers successfully apprehended multiple individuals involved.

And then at 818, a radio call reported looting at the Apple store on the 1600 block of

Walnut.

No arrests have been made at this time in connection with this incident.

Police say the store sustained losses in terms of phones and tablets, although they say

numerous stolen items have been recovered. So this has been happening in some cities around the country. The cops marching the footage, the cops were working their asses off with this man. But my question is, it's 100 people. I assume you coordinate something like that. Social media, right? I mean, it's got to be. Probably. So there's got to be some kind of footprint. Right? That's what I was thinking. Yeah, they did have to call in some neighboring police department, Steve, because they said the people in Philadelphia were just so busy last night. And it wasn't just in Center City. They say that there was trouble at a right aid, 53rd in Baltimore Avenue in Cobbs Creek.

A car slammed into a cure leave store on the 5,000 block of City Avenue.

It's not known if anything was stolen from the dispensary shop,

but Lower Marion Police, whose jurisdiction is just across the street.

They were called in because Philadelphia police were so bogged down with other calls.

So I was reading that some of the tactic that is used often is to create a diversion.

Yeah, sure.
