Authorities in Los Angeles announce more than a dozen arrests in recent smash-and-grab thefts at stores where nearly $340,000 worth of merchandise was stolen. The robberies are part of a rash of organized retail crime in California.

Fourteen people were arrested in connection with 11 brazen robberies between Nov. 18 and 28, and all are out of custody, police Chief Michel Moore said. Most bailed out or met no-bail criteria, and one is a juvenile, he said.

“We need the help of our criminal justice system, of our judges, of our jailers,” Garcetti said. “We have opened up a lot of the city because we’re in a better place with COVID. We should be able to also open up our jails, and we should be able to have judges that put people behind those bars.”A statewide policy of imposing $0 bail for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies ended last year, but it was kept in place within the LA County Superior Court system.

The chief said he was confident that police investigating the retail robberies had the support of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who ran on a reform agenda and supports ending bail across the board for misdemeanor, non-violent and non-serious felony offenses.

I heard it was a bunch of white dudes.

No mention of the organization head of how it was coordinated?

Make an example out of 'em.

All of them have already been released, this is what democrats voted for and its what they deserve.

I used to dig living in Cally.

Lock them up and throw away the key!

I think we should handle the problem the way we handle most problems in the United States; ignore it and move on! What, are you still hung up on something that happened, like, days ago? We’re past that already. Let’s lower the temperature in the room & take a wait & see approach.

I'm guessing Tomi Lahren won't tweet about this because it's about her race but I guarantee if it had anything to do with BLM she'll be tweeting about it non stop.

According to the article they are already out because Cali no bail. What a shit state. They'll just do it again tomorrow.

Excellent!

There should be exploding paint capsules in expensive items just like with bundles of cash in bank heists.

Politically motivated hooligans trying to get face....

LincolnRiley related no doubt

Nice. If any of them sold the merch interstate they should make it federal.
