PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police are hoping the public can help identify several kids who stormed a local gas station this past Saturday night and stole everything they could grab.
On the surveillance video, one person came into the Chevron convenience store on SE 92nd and Foster. Then a second person came in and pretty soon, a large group of kids was packed into the shop. Soon, they were stealing anything they could, from drinks to gum to candy
Carlos Garcia was working Saturday night at around 11:30 p.m. when the incident happened. He said there were 16 kids in the store. Garcia said the kids grabbed anything they could and shoved items into their pockets or simply carrying them in their hands and out the door.
"My first reaction was call police because I can't do more," he said. "I don't want to hurt them -- they're kids. I called the police. They don't stop they're just picking picking as much as they can."
As the kids were leaving the store, there was some sort of confrontation. It didn't end there, though. The thieves came back to the parking lot, which is when Garcia said they started throwing things at him. Garcia promptly grabbed a baseball bat and scared the kids off.
Portland Police are investigating. Employees at the store are hoping someone can recognize the kids and call police.

He will be outside with me on leash when I am pumping gas, he WILL be with me anytime I drive around at night and anywhere dogs are allowed in public (except I've noticed more and more parks are banning pets, which is one place you probably should have one if walking out at night). I think i might just ignore that and take the warning or ticket if the need arises. Last Easter we took him to park to play with grand children, leashed, with the old lady, didn't notice the no dogs sign until 1/2 way around park, and then we saw the Sheriff pull in, we uhh, just kept walking, Sheriff just drove away. Ticket or safety? Ummm...not a hard choice
