Two suspects were arrested after a smash-and-grab robbery at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California was stopped by some Marines who were at a nearby military recruitment center in the mall.
According to Torrance police, four people wearing hoodies used hammers to smash the glass of a jewelry store’s display cases. They were grabbing as much jewelry as they could when the Marines stepped in and said not on my watch.
Two of the suspects escaped, but the other two were taken to the ground by Marine recruiters who got help from bystanders. A man who watched the scene unfold said:
“It was the Marines. The Marine Corps. They stepped up, they tackled them down.
