Flash robs involve as many as 50 people. Store employees can do little to stop them and may even suffer injury. Participants have been known to punch an employee on the way out. In addition to the loss of merchandise, retailers are concerned about losing customers. "A frenzied group of teens snatching merchandise and running through store aisles creates panic and potential safety issues for customers and store employees," according to a 2011 white paper by the Nation-al Retail Federation.
