Flyer on vacant Washington storefront urges thieves to band together and ransack Safeways - as grim footage shows bare shelves at nearby CVS and armed guards at Target

A mysterious flyer on a vacant Washington storefront urged shoplifters to unite and ransack the local Safeway grocery stores.

The signage was posted on Irving Street outside of a store in the neighborhood of Columbia Heights located in Northwest D.C., said in part, 'Shoplifters unite! Take everything that's not nailed down. Bust windows.' 

DailyMail.com obtained a copy of the flyer that features a slew of accusations against the national grocery retail chain including, 'Safeway is racist against black people... Safeway is racist against black disabled people... Safeway is racist against people who support Gaza.'

A photo of a man in a wheelchair in what appear to be a library is featured on the flyer.

The person or group behind the flyer was not identified but it supported 'Black Lives Matter,' and encouraged people to 'boycott' their store, 'slip and fall inside Safeway to get $$$rich$$$' and to post on TikTok and share on social media.

Safeway, is a supermarket chain headquartered in Pleasonton with more than 900 stores nationwide and located in seventeen different states

The flyer had many misspellings also a number profanities. It is unclear what day the flyer was posted. 

The second portion of the flyers alleges that a 'white redneck manager told a disabled black person he was not allowed to bring his wheelchair in the store because he had a Gaza flag on his wheelchair.'

The sign also claimed that the 'white manager then said. Get out of my store disabled N-word, you and your wife, security guard joined in'. 

When DailyMail.com contacted Safeway, they were unavailable for comment, at the time of publication.

DailyMail.com also reached out to some of the local constituents about the verity of the flyer. They did not respond yet at the time of publication.

Safeway is a supermarket chain that not only sells groceries, but has a pharmacy, dry cleaner, gas station and Western Union.

The billion dollar company that is headquartered in Pleasanton, California has 904 stores in approximately approximately seventeen states.

Some shoppers spoke to local Fox News about the ominous flyer with one person saying, in part, 'I think its a bunch of crap.'

The Metropolitan Police Department's Office of Communications issued a statement to DailyMail.com about the matter. 

'The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) continues to work closely with our law enforcement and DC government partners to ensure safety and security for all who live and work in the District. MPD does not provide specific information on operations, tactics, or staffing. 

'MPD does not tolerate illegal activity of any kind, and we will continue to work to ensure that those who commit crimes within the District of Columbia are apprehended. We urge individuals to remain vigilant and help our community stay safe. If you See Something, Say Something.'

There has been a surge in shoplifting at many stores in the area as part of a nationwide problem.
