According to the police, 15 to 20 people have been arrested in connection with the robbery. Initial reports of break-ins near Rittenhouse Square began shortly after 8 p.m., shortly after peaceful protesters dispersed from a City Hall meeting where they had gathered to demand justice for Eddie Irizarry, who was shot and killed by an off-duty Philadelphia police officer last month. However, Philadelphia’s top police officer, John Stanford, insisted that Irizarry’s supporters had nothing to do with Tuesday night’s riots.

Editor’s note: Honestly, it makes me laugh that they have to return the devices because of the anti-theft system. But hey, even here in Mexico we deal with looting and riots all the time and it’s unfortunate.
