Group of dozens ransack LA-area luxury stores in brazen mob-style robberies

A group of 30-50 people raided a Nordstrom store in Los Angeles, stealing luxury goods worth up to $100,000.
The thieves used bear spray against security guards during the Nordstrom robbery.
Similar mob-style robberies have occurred at other high-end stores like Yves Saint Laurent, where losses totaled $300,000.
The suspects fled in vehicles with removed license plates after the Nordstrom attack.
LAPD and other law enforcement are investigating the incidents and increasing patrols around major retailers.
