Did you know a single abandoned mall has generated over 400 police calls since last October? The Westminster Mall in Southern California, once a bustling hub, has shockingly transformed into a lawless wasteland for vandals and trespassers since its closure. Despite being boarded up, individuals are consistently finding ways inside, leaving a trail of destruction including smashed storefronts, scattered merchandise, and extensive spray paint. The Westminster Police Department confirms a staggering 402 service calls for various crimes, even apprehending individuals with active arrest warrants on site. A recent witness account described seeing around 60 people freely roaming the damaged interior, with no authorities present, highlighting the scale of the ongoing issue. Authorities believe a surge in online videos showcasing the ravaged mall might be fueling the increased incidents, almost acting as an invitation for further illicit activity. Consequently, police have made at least 30 arrests just this past weekend, emphasizing that trespassing is a serious safety concern and will lead to arrest. This escalating situation underscores a dramatic challenge for local law enforcement, struggling to contain the widespread destruction of what was once a community landmark.
