One PF Chang’s Manager who was nearby spoke on the incident, saying, “We probably saw 50 to 80 people in ski masks crowbars a bunch of weapons. They were looting the Nordstrom’s right here. And I thought they were going to start beating cars. I had to start locking doors, lock the front door lock the back door.”

Video footage shows a large number of police presence in Walnut Creek Saturday night. A manager at a restaurant nearby said that his customers were utterly shocked to see looters grabbing merchandise, loading their cars and driving off just like that. One BMW convertible which was supposedly connected to the mayhem was tackled by the police.
