Raleigh, NC – At least three people were arrested at North Hills early Monday morning following riots and vandalism.
Protests started peacefully in downtown Raleigh on Sunday evening but grew violent and extended past downtown as the night grew later. Sometime early Monday, glass windows were knocked out at Harris Teeter and REI along with some other local businesses, including the Ideal Image medical spa.
At 4:30 a.m., National Guard vehicles were parked outside North Hills, blocking the entrance to the shopping center. Gov. Roy Cooper requested more than 450 National Guard members to deploy across North Carolina.
…
Looters also hit Triangle Town Center early Monday, where four people were arrested. The front Target windows at Triangle Town Center were completely smashed, and Ross and several other businesses were damaged.

While the damage was not extensive, it is symbolic. These two malls are both in the richer, north suburbs of Raleigh.
