Dozens of men and boys reportedly stole thousands of dollars worth of loot from the Acro mini mart Sunday after a group of cars doing donuts blocked a four-way intersection in an illegal street takeover around 2:30 a.m., according to local reports and videos.

The crowd quickly dispersed following the smash and grab, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
