“I was just trying to pick out a concealer then heard a BANG,” Ortiz said in a subsequent video post.
The video appears to show three individuals all wearing hoodie sweatshirts to block their identities, emptying the shelves of their supplies.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they received multiple calls for robberies at the Los Cerritos Center Saturday evening. Robberies first took place in a Forever 21 store before the assailants made their way to the Sephora, police said.
