Best Buy hit by Black Friday shoplifting blitz; CEO says crime could drive workers out
Crowds of thieves struck at Best Buy stores in the Twin Cities on Friday, just days after the retailer's CEO warned that increased crime around the country could scare away employees.
Minnesota Public Radio has a report on the thefts, which occurred Friday night at Best Buy stores in Burnsville and Maplewood. The Burnsville case reportedly involved 20 to 30 people, while about a dozen adults and juveniles struck the Maplewood store. Maplewood police said that the thieves apparently worked in concert, targeting high-value items like televisions and hoverboards.
No one was injured or arrested; the suspects were gone by the time police arrived.
