Portland police were called to a local grocery and dry-goods store to keep residents from raiding its dumpsters, which were filled with potentially spoiled food discarded because a storm-caused power outage, several outlets reported.

Posters on social media alerted people to the discarded food at the Fred Meyer store in the Hollywood West section of the city, which resulted in about 50 people showing up, local NBC network affiliate KGW reported.

After store employees tried to prevent the would-be dumpster raiders from getting to the perishable items, police were called in.

Employees feared a physical confrontation, and police ordered the crowd to disperse or face possible arrest for trespassing.
