Hurricane Florence – Widespread Looting In Wilmington, NC – Multiple Stores Robbed (Video)

As always, the aftermath of a hurricane passing through a US state brings out the worst in people and looting could be witnessed at multiple sites. The passage of hurricane Florence, now downgraded to a tropical storm, was no different.

We reported the first arrests yesterday and today more video is being uploaded to social media sites showing people taking ‘criminal’ advantage of the chaos that comes with the aftermath of a natural disaster.
