More high end looting, this time at the Nordstrom at the Grove in Mid City. Smash and grab at one of the front windows, unclear what was taken but scooters are strewn around the window. LAPD had pursued some of those fleeing until they got out and ran in South LA. @CBSLA pic.twitter.com/mnFdpimKH2

Police reportedly chased the suspects into south Los Angeles. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was arrested, according to the news outlets.
On Saturday, more than 80 people stormed a Nordstrom in Walnut Creek, a San Francisco suburb, in another coordinated break-in, police said. Authorities arrested three people in connection with the incident, KPIX-TV reported.
