TROUTDALE, OR (KPTV) -

Troutdale police said they have the names of 12 juveniles who may be suspects in a flash-mob-style theft at an Albertsons store last weekend.

Surveillance video from the store shows the teens riding around in the store's electronic carts, sprinting up and down the aisles and throwing fruit in the produce department.

Officers said the teens grabbed items off the store shelves and stole whatever they could get their hands on.

One teen went behind the Starbucks counter and appeared to be trying to steal money from the register. That teen, who was arrested later that night for curfew violation, is the only suspect who has been arrested. He is likely to face burglary, disorderly conduct, attempted theft and riot charges.

Detectives are now trying to match the 11 other names they have to the surveillance video so they can interview them.

Police said several tips from the public helped them learn the names of the 12 possible suspects so far.

Anyone who may have additional information is asked to call the Troutdale Police Department.
