«Breaking News» Looting reported at Family Dollar in Wilmington as the North Carolina city is cut off by floodwaters

Looters reportedly broke into a Family Dollar store in Wilmington as the city on North Carolina's coast has become a virtual island cut off by floodwaters following Hurricane Florence. 

Police have arrested at least five people in connection with looting at the store on Greenfield Street on Saturday.

They first issued a warning about the activity that afternoon after the store's management reported it, but asked police to stand down.  

Footage from local news station WECT shows dozens of people carrying any items they could get their hands on out of the store and back to a public housing community called Houston Moore.  

While there were no members of law enforcement on the scene due to management's request, police enacted a curfew for the area from 5pm Saturday to 6am Sunday. 

They also said many of the alleged looters could be identified in WECT's video. They encouraged locals to report anyone they recognized in the footage.

WECT reporter Chelsea Donovan, who went to the scene with another employee to film the looting, said: 'When we came over the hill on Greenfield Street, you could just see people everywhere.'

Their footage shows many of the alleged looters - some of whom were wearing masks - as they exited through the front and back entrances of the Family Dollar with various items in hand.

Both journalists retreated to their vehicle soon after as they felt the situation had gotten out of hand.

'I was concerned the whole time. I won't lie, but I was there to get the story,' Donovan said.  

It is unclear why Family Dollar management asked police not to intervene at the store, but the Wilmington Police Department has indicated offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. 

'We're going to do everything we can to protect your property. This is not a response to the video. This has been our message [since] before the storm arrived,' the department said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
