'Philly is fallen': Masked teens loot US Apple store, check video inside

Around 20 teenagers were arrested and two firearms were recovered after a group of juveniles broke into shops in the US State of Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia police launched a crackdown after reports surfaced of rampant looting of stores like Apple Store, Footlocker, and Lululemon, among others.

Videos viral on the internet show stores being overrun by masked teens. Looted Apple Store show iPhones and iPads scattered across display tables. However, many of the stolen Apple products were eventually abandoned due to their anti-theft features.



By midnight on Wednesday morning, law enforcement had confirmed that the police had arrested 15 to 20 individuals for the looting, Fox News reported.

Initial reports of break-ins near Rittenhouse Square began just after 8 pm, shortly after peaceful protesters dispersed from a gathering at City Hall where protesters gathered to demand justice for Eddie Irizarry, who was shot and killed by a Philadelphia police officer last month.

However, senior Philadelphia police officer John Stanford insisted that Irizarry's supporters had nothing to do with Tuesday night's unrest.
