A 16-year-old has been arrested for allegedly using social media to organize a mob of teens to attack and rob pedestrians on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, police said.

The teen is said to have incited the crime spree, said Officer Bruce Borhanh. The teen’s name was withheld because he is a juvenile.

Police say the “bash mob” was in response to the George Zimmerman acquittal, but police say the criminal behavior taints the peaceful protests.

“In light of what the good people that were up there for lawful purpose intended to do, it really put a black eye on those days and we can’t have that,” Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese said.

Nine other teens are facing robbery charges in the incident, and have all pleaded not guilty to taking cellphones, a wallet and a skateboard. In all, about $1,700 in stolen property and $300 in damages were reported.

Detectives are still looking for one individual in the incident, who was caught on surveillance cameras on Hollywood Boulevard.

Bash mobs are like a flash mob but instead of dancing in a choreographed number in public places, a bash mob converges to steal and vandalize.
