Police say the service station on Bagot Street, The Gap, as well as a supermarket on Gap Road were targeted by rioters on Thursday night.
Footage shows one man opening what appears to be a locked door of the service station.
Dozens of people pour in and start grabbing items from the shelves.
Some then start tossing shelving over in the packed shop.
The service station is directly opposite Alice Springs hospital.
The burglary happened on the night of Thursday's riot, sparked after Lewis was allegedly hunted down and beaten in what detectives said was vigilante retaliation.
"What you will see is criminal behaviour plain and simple," NT Police Commissioner Martin Dole said.
Police say about $105,000 worth of property was stolen and $80,000 of damage was caused.
Five people - aged 18, 26, 34, 46 and 49 - have been arrested and are expected to be charged.
