Teen mob storms gas station, lone clerk shelled with snacks in caught-on-cam chaos

The incident happened March 19 at a Chevron station along Folsom Boulevard, where a large group of juveniles flooded the store and began vandalizing the business, according to the Sacramento Police Department.

Police told Fox News Digital officers received a call that night about 25 to 30 juveniles involved in the disturbance at the location in the 8000 block of Folsom Boulevard. At the time, the caller indicated they did not expect to be contacted by officers.

Days later, on March 23, the business reported that items had been stolen during the incident. A patrol officer took a robbery report, and the case remains in the early stages of investigation, police said.

Store manager Shailesh Chand said the employee on duty was the only worker present and was left trying to manage the chaos alone.

"They feel that they can just walk in any store and pick up things and throw things and do whatever they can do and run away," Chand told FOX 40.

Chand said the employee on duty was the only staff member present and was left shaken as the situation spiraled. 

Video shows chips, candy and beverages being hurled through the air as the group moved through the aisles, leaving behind extensive damage.

"The crowd was trying to throw candies at him," Chand said, describing the chaos.

Chand told FOX 40 that incidents like this are becoming more frequent, adding that the behavior goes beyond typical shoplifting and has turned increasingly aggressive. He noted the store has had to repair or replace its front door multiple times in recent months due to similar disruptions.

Chand said he hopes those involved will be identified and held accountable, urging anyone who recognizes the individuals in the video to come forward.

The investigation remains ongoing.
