Costumed Youths Trick Store, Steal Treats
About 25 youths dressed in costumes took nearly $600 in small electronic equipment from a Silver Lake electronic store Tuesday night, but the store manager was unable to describe any of the youths to police because of the disguises.
The manager of the Radio Shack store at 3733 Sunset Blvd. told police that the youths came in at 6 p.m. and shouted, “Trick or treat,” then dispersed throughout the store and grabbed $580 worth of equipment, including cassettes and cordless phones. The shoplifters ran out of the store, investigators said.
