Nearby, reports indicate that every store along Kensington Avenue was hit by looters earlier in the afternoon.
Looters were even seen fighting with each other over the stolen goods. Police were not immediately on the scene, but a video posted to twitter shows officers making an arrest.
Kensington, one of the most impoverished parts of Philadelphia, is just northeast of the epicenter of yesterday's violent riots in Center City.
Looters tore into several businesses in West Philadelphia during the late afternoon hours. A large crowd ransacked a corner drug store on Walnut Street and 52nd Street. Nearby, a steady stream of looters were seen exiting the Family Bargain with merchandise.
