Del Amo Fashion Center Mall Security is and has always been a little bit of a negative force at the mall. They are known for flexing their muscles at the wrong people. They seem to act tough with the clean cut guys and scare off good customers from the center. I personally had an incident at 11:45 PM on May 29th 2013. After playing indoor soccer at the Galaxy Center on Maple Ave in Torrance, myself along with my fellow team mates (12 of us) always head out to the Lazy Dog Cafe. On average I'd say we spend about $250 every Wednesday night. When we were leaving one of my friends 38 year old Oscar Caruso owner of First Class Auto Body (Local merchant) decided he was going to prove his youth by jumping over a trash can. Well he didn't quite make it, he knocked the trash can over but immediately picked it back up. Long story short we were surrounded by 8 mall security guys and told we had to leave the property immediately or be arrested for trespassing. All of us including my 76 year old father were thrown off the property. The security guys treated us like criminals and humiliated us in front of people. What a shame that Del Amo Fasion Center's Simon company has to hire such incompetent people to run their security. A trash can knocked over by accident is no reason to kick 12 people off the property. The security people at Del Amo Fasion Center need to be re-trained or given a permanent vacation. They are unreasonable, under trained, power trip idiots. Need I say more?
By the way they refused to give me their names but they said they were "Unit 36"
I want to support and will continue to support local businesses but this really puts a bad taste in my mouth. The owners of the mall have been notified of the incident and I do hope they correct the attitude.
