Philadelphia looters: Rioter ‘Meatball’ sheds crocodile tears as police name and shame 32

Police have vowed more arrests to come as shop owners try to pick up the pieces of their devastated stores. Aldi, Footlocker, booze shops and LULU Lemon were among the man raided

Police have released the names and mugshots of 30 of the suspected looters charged after a chaotic night of rioting and raiding across Philadelphia. One known as ‘Meatball’, who live-streamed the looting on social media and boasted about taking a bottle of Hennessy, was seen crying in her police picture.

So far 52 people, including three juveniles, have been arrested with police vowing “more to come.” Shocking footage showed over 100 masked Halloween rioters looting shops and causing terror in the centre of the city. The violence came just hours after a peaceful protest over a judge’s decision to dismiss murder charges against a Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed a driver, Eddie Irizarry, through a car window. Although police sources have dismissed suggestions of a link between the two events.
