Dozens of individuals went into the Family Dollar Store at 1318 Greenfield St and stole numerous items from the store. The looting was captured on social media and by a local news team which notified local police. When officers arrived they notified store management who did not want to pursue charges initially. In an effort to address looting at this location a curfew was ordered for the one block radius around the store to prevent any further crimes.
