TORRANCE, CA - A mall security guard at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance has been terminated and faces potential license revocation after a video of his reckless driving in a company car surfaced on social media. The guard, employed by Allied Universal Security, was seen performing dangerous maneuvers for a group of young spectators on the mall property.

The exact timing of the incident is unknown, but footage was posted on Instagram by the account south.bay.responders on Saturday.

The footage also reveals the guard giving a ride to someone during the stunt, likely to allow the passenger to record the event from inside the car. This additional element of the stunt was captured and shared by the passenger, adding to the controversy.

The incident has led to significant backlash, with the guard’s actions not only endangering public safety but also damaging the reputation of Allied Universal Security. The company has acted swiftly, leading to the guard's termination and a review of his professional credentials.
