Police in Walnut Creek are alerting businesses and residents that looters who targeted a Nordstrom store Saturday may be planning more thefts on Sunday evening.
An estimated 80 thieves ransacked the store in Broadway Plaza about 9 p.m. Saturday, assaulting two store employees and pepper-spraying another, police said. Three suspects were arrested, but dozens fled the scene.
The police department “is actively monitoring intelligence that indicates the group of thieves who stole from the Broadway Plaza Nordstrom last night are considering similar activity later today,” Walnut Creek police said in a community advisory posted Sunday.
“This has not been confirmed, but out of an abundance of caution, we’re alerting businesses and residents to be prepared,” police said in the advisory.
The department is calling in additional officers and reserves, and some stores may consider closing early or taking other precautions, police said.
No information about a time or target of looting was available, the department said.
Apparently, they have to always be on alert, as liberal policies keep encouraging this behavior. Make sure to thank all the dems for the crud hole we are now living in.
We are all beginning to see and feel what total leadership by the Democrats is doing to the state and country! It ain’t pretty! Everyone is going to suffer more now ……. except possibly the elitist liberal billionaires who are probably enjoying this. But for your average person it’s not nice. Just wait until the Dems get their 80,000 extra IRS employees to start going after checking accounts of over $600 transaction.
So none of these shenanigans EVER happened when Trump was in charge? Convenient memory loss…..
Russ Sayin,
I don’t think it matters, Trump or Biden. All of these “shenanigans”
are the result of bad leadership at the state’s level, and enough voters are too brainwashed, too polarized in their politics to make, or vote for the necessary changes.
+1 jjshawk – you nailed it!
its like the commercial, we are not security, we are security monitors. Stop giving them guns and give them cameras if they are not going to do anything.
BLM just got payback on white America for the Rittenhouse verdict. God will judge you leftist scum who didn’t care what you were supporting with your little BLM signs in your front yard. Killing kids and old ladies in a Christmas parade in Wisconsin may just be the spark.
You simps better figure out what side you’re on because it’s going down. The globalists know they lost and they are going scorched earth. Using their criminal army released for COVID HOAX to terrorize every community across the country. Time to chuck the hormone blockers and stand up for your family and your way of life. They WILL burn EVERYTHING down.
An armed society is a safe society.
Take the guns out of the criminal’s hands.
Citizens have the rights, not the criminals.
Criminals need to live in fear of every citizen.
Yes this should warrant the FBI stepping in. This should be made a federal crime for conspiracy
The FBI? I believe their agents are tied up right now with the Ashley Biden diary case. They’ll get back to you later.
Have you ever met an FBI agent? Those fools couldn’t investigate their way out of a paper bag.
What are you talkin about the FBI is on their side they have become so corrupt how do you not see that have you seen them go out for one and tifa member or black lives matter Marxist no stop watching CNN and MSNBC
.
Let’s thank the liberal voters and left-wing government officials who are weak on crime and punishment.
.
Governor Newsom by executive order released over 20,000 convicted felons who were deemed “non-violent” over the last couple of years.
.
Theft is rampant and you Democrats and “Progressives’ can give yourselves a pat on the back for these incidents.
.
Law and order should be the norm…. not feelings and excuses for criminals.
.
WTF is wrong with you people?
.
We are armed and ready for any scumbags that might trespass against us. Can’t wait for law enforcement to act and dialing 911 won’t bring anyone fast enough.
After the terrorist attack in Wisconsin tonight I guess we should be lucky that it was only a robbery / burglary with our Southern border wide open and every criminal worldwide pouring into our country get used to murders kidnappings gang-related drug dealing every other crime you could think of we will be a third world country next week if you voted for Joe Biden this is your fault it is the fault of the federal government for not doing their job Joe Biden and his entire administration should be behind bars right now things are only going to get worse people. Now we all know why are communist governor wants vote by mail so they can steal every election from now on in case you haven’t noticed I am extremely pissed I’ll take mean tweets any day there’s a huge difference between facts and feelings wake up now if you don’t you will wake up one day and realize oh my gosh we are a socialist country
Terrorist? You are the only one I have heard say that. The news agencies are saying that the driver was fleeing from another incident. It does not say if they were being chased, just fleeing.
Where are you seeing that this a terrorist event?
Get your guns and clubs and take care of business.This is the only thing these people are going to understand.
No surprise that the free shopping day anarchy and protest crowds showed up again following a verdict that was not to their liking again. It appears this seems to be their generations new signature card. How admirable….NOT!!!
Au Contrair, Entitlement is not a strength but a weakness….
.
Business owners and staff should be ready to fight back.
No way, as a sales associate at Macy’s I’m not qualified to fight back, I’m elderly, so are some of my co workers, anyway employee’s are not trained to fight back. Macy’s do have security, and they do apprehend thieves, but the grab and run are hard to get, they are in and out of the store so fast. It is easier if someone is going from department to department and stealig something from each department. If we see something suspecious we call security, they can then follow the person on video and when they have proof they can detain him/her, and call the police.
No longer care anymore after Summer 2020.
Good Riddance – Woke companies brought this on themselves. They can enjoy those increased insurance premiums & they can’t be passed onto consumers since consumers are too afraid to step onto their premises due to them being unsafe.
Mark my words. There will be a big riot when the mcMicheals (father and son) and roddie are acquitted this coming week. All the signs (protest of black pastors in GA, the Kyle’s acquittal, looting under the disguise of protest) are there.
Time to arm yourself. Unless DJT croak before 2024, he could come back and restore law and order; the proud boys will no longer have to “stand down and down” when maga24 rise
Have you followed the McMichael case at all? This is not the same as Rittenouse, in that case there were “reasonable doubt” thus the jury found him not quilty. Arbery was unarmed, had not stolen anything. Did you watch the younger McMichael on the witness stand? He dug himself a deep whole. You whole post is disturbing,
These flash mobs, thieves, organized gangs, and thugs will continue hitting high-end retail and jewelry stores. Almost ZERO security and chance of being held accountable for their actions. Law-enforcement will be playing catch up well into the New Year. 2021 is a great time to be a criminal.
I have an idea it’s groundbreaking…how about we call in the National Guard and have them ready to stop this insanity? Or better yet gave them work together with local law enforcement to stop this from happening to innocent businesses & hard working taxed citizens. This beyond acceptable & DAs or high ranking law enforcement needs to be held accountable for business & any personal loss.
Voters only have themselves to blame for this mess. When there are no consequences for lawlessness, laws become useless.
With a continuing Democrat Party super-majority in the state and many local governments, things can only deteriorate. Eventually, law-abiding citizens and businesses will either flee the state or take the law into their own hands. Neither outcome is going to be pretty.
I hope Nordstrom donates to the Democrat Party.
In a way, they just did.
Perhaps they got hit because they DON’T donate to the democrat Party.
In other news , Walnut Creek’s Mayor made a tweet that was featured in national news. He is trying to look real woke. Couldn’t have been worse timing. I think he is copying the Mayor of Portland , who takes all sides of issues, depending on the day of the week.
tired of Mayor Pro tem Dems. let’s get a rea hard workingl working Mayor. not one that locks up City Hall and makes it by appointment only, and no one can help you.or even answer the phone. Police hands are tied by these fools a sCity Council allows the ugliest, moronic murals painted around town. Check out above the closed Mels Diner.when you drive by!
The board of supervisors should reallocate some of the new tax revenue to W.C. so that they can organize a citizen volunteer patrol for BP
The volunteer patrol could be the extra eyes that will quickly notify the police when suspicious groups enter the area
The BP security is only authorized for the immediate plaza area but it seems that a wider scope of monitoring is necessary to get law enforcement in motion before the crimes are committed
Diana and Mitchoff need to make a public statement soon about how they are going to prosecute retail crime in the county
they can’t ignore this and hope it goes away
Gun stores are doing a brisk business and I am glad to see this. Criminals have all the rights as well as guns. Time for citizenry to protect ourselves and our property from these free roaming thieving entitlement crowd that Biden and his crew have allowed to go unpunished. Their need will eventually bring down our country which the liberals, socialists and green party want.and pander to daily to get votes ( legal or illegally).
Time to step up and defend our country. Vigilante groups are springing up everywhere and need to. LE have their hands tied.
Media needs to be transparetn and stop pandering only to the left. Stop blaming Trump and blame who is truly causing these problems and call them out. We are not stupid or blind and common sense needs to come to the forefront.
I seem to recall during the Rodney King riots the Korean business owners were able to stop any looting on their own.
That was a different scenerio, they stood outside their store and threating to shoot. Here you have the thieves rushing into the store thus mixing with customers and employee’s, there is a good chance that in that scenerio innocent people would be hurt or killed.
It starts with a liberal city council, a DA that won’t prosecute POC and a police chief that was a politically correct choice.
I’ll be dropping off the new WCPD training manual at the station on Tuesday.

Racial Profiling is back and they asked for it!
This is a recent tweet from Kevin Wilk, the mayor of WC. I think this explains a lot.

The Wisconsin jury has said that it’s now legal to roam the streets with an assault weapon and shoot people, if you claim self defense for people coming at you because you have an assault weapon.
Kevin Wilk is a moron and I’ve told him so to his face.

This is painful, not just sad or infuriating. Are we helpless to stop this? It will only get worse, right? Shouldn’t law enforcement be on top of this? If these degenerates came 80-strong, there must have been organization, which means communications could be and should be monitored. Law enforcement telling private citizens to be vigilant is pointless and an abdication of the power citizens gave to law enforcement to handle these matters. Really, law enforcement should be going hard at these cretins.
Thanks to the forum for allowing me to vent. Moving forward, I’ll be doing Christmas shopping at Nordstrom. Not so much that they need my money, but more to support the community and the workers. I won’t be getting a gun anytime soon, but I support the Second Amendment. Just take some good classes on firearm safety, please.
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas, sincerely and without irony. We could all use some heavenly peace.
Even if they catch them DA Becton won’t prosecute them.
In other words, the police will not protect law-abiding citizens and businesses. That should be good for business.
I have a question, “Can looters be charged with tax evasion?”
Noticed WCPD stopped guarding Apple store to protect Nerdstrom.
Foolish move.
Thank you for mentioning this I’m sure criminals on here passed your comment on.
Dummy..
I think most of us agree that criminal behavior is unexceptionable and individuals need to be held accountable for their actions when they do something unlawful.
Here’s an article dated November 22, 2021 that you may find interesting and informative from the California Globe, entitled “California’s Alarming Cocktail of Criminal Justice ‘Reforms’ Responsible for Major Crime Wave” about legislation passed regarding crime in California.

Also, I Suggest you consider voting for Mary Knox in 2022 for District Attorney. She is an experienced Deputy DA with the know how to do a responsible job for our country.

Mr. Mayor, Thank you for all your work you do to inform us and allow us to express.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Mayor and Claycordians
RE: quo vadis
1) Yes, agree that these mobs of cretins have to be communicating w/each
other somehow. Hopefully local police/FBI can get access to the cells of the
3 caught.
2) Is there any security camera footage from the other night at BWP?
With an Army Base underground almost walking distance from the location. You can find some one dropping a burger King napkin but not 80 Ninjas? Your smoking Crack WC
