A large group of juveniles robbed a clothing store in Georgetown on Tuesday evening and stole $13,000 worth of
items, according to D.C. police.
The incident happened just before 6 p.m. at the Diesel store in the 3000 block of M Street NW. More than 20 people went into the store and grabbed several items off the racks, police said. They stole four leather jackets, costing about $800, and an additional $12,000 worth of merchandise.
One person who worked at the store was said to have been pushed from behind by someone in the crowd. The employee was not injured, according to police. Police described the suspects only as juveniles.
A spokesperson for Diesel did not respond to requests for comment. [Georgetown social network accused of racial profiling is suspended]
A group of merchants earlier this year in Georgetown ended its use of a private messaging service that many retailers, residents and police officers had used to talk about people they thought were suspicious. There were concerns that the service was being used to racially profile people.
Georgetown is one of the nation’s poshest shopping districts. Terrence McCoy contributed to this report.

- Robbery not mentioned in the headline.
- Just a mob of juveniles (I assume straight out of church choir practice)
Finally, a paragraph about a merchants network that was closed down because of "profiling" concerns. Check the other on You Tube videos to see if profiling is rational.
When did it become illegal defend yourself or your property. 20 juveniles in a pack at a mall is worthy of suspicion.
