Saks Fifth Avenue Shields NYC Store With Barbed Wire, Attack Dogs To Deter Looters

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Reuters says the luxury retailer hired a third-party security firm to protect the store and associates. Amid these unprecedented times, it was found necessary to line the store with chainlink fencing with barb wire on top and private security guards with attack dogs. 

A source told Reuters that looters damaged Saks stores in Chicago; Chevy Chase, Maryland; Boston; and San Francisco in recent weeks. Other stores in Atlanta, Columbus, Indianapolis, Phoenix, and New Orleans were boarded up to prevent future break-ins. There was no mention if other locations had attack dogs. 

The New York Post said "at least seven German shepherds, Belgian Malinois and pit bull dogs" were seen outside the Manhattan location. One security guard said, "God willing, I hope they [looters] don't show up, and it goes smoothly." 

The guard said the dogs "aren't friendly."

We noted, over the weekend, that retail outlets up and down the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast were preemptively boarded up and emptied of merchandise until the social unrest is over.
