Baltimore Corrections Officers Charged with Looting During Riots

Two Baltimore corrections officers were suspended and charged earlier this week upon the discovery that they were reportedly involved in some of the looting that occurred weeks ago. These are the mugshots released from Baltimore PD of Kendra Richard and Tamika Cobb:

Police officials said that both Richard and Cobb were caught on video looting a 7-Eleven during the rioting. The 7-Eleven was one of multiple stores that were looted and/or trashed during the riots, when people took to the streets calling for justice for Freddie Gray.

Both were charged with theft and burglary, and were put on unpaid leave.

Watch the video capturing them below:
