WILMINGTON, N.C. — Despite Wilmington getting pummeled by Hurricane Florence, looters are cleaning out stores in the area.
Thieves nearly picked a Family Dollar store in downtown Wilmington clean, WSOCTV.com reported.
People across the road threw items at the media, and a glass bottle burst at the feet of a reporter.
Police said that the manager of the Family Dollar told police to let the looters go ahead.
