Police have learned that 17 gangs have honed in on the wealthiest residents of the Los Angeles area by robbing them after they leave venues catering to the rich and famous.
Police said the robberies are often carried out by crews working from multiple vehicles and that the high-end handbags, watches and other items are then sold regionally on a thriving black market, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Violence towards victims is becoming a hallmark of the crimes, said Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who leads a Los Angeles Police Department task force formed as the number of high-end violent robberies began to spike.
There’s no chance or opportunity for these victims even to comply. They’re just running up to people and attacking them, whether that’s putting a gun in their face or punching them and beating on them,” Tippet said. “Pistol whipping them as well.”
Police said that there were 165 so-called “follow-home” robberies in 2021 and 56 to date this year.
Gangs including the Bloods and Crips are involved, Tippet said.
The robberies are organized, he said, with sometimes as many as five vehicles converging on a target identified by a spotter who alerts gangs when wealthy potential targets are on the move.
“In my 34 years on the job, I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.
LAPD is fighting back, Tippet said, with 24 robbery arrests involving 47 robberies, as well as 16 gun arrests and six attempted murder arrests. But many of those arrested are back out on the street.

may be... but over the years, that 5 to 10 percent of his commentary against the libs has been more convincing than anything coming out of the likes of the Rinos we got sh***ng all over us.
I was told this story just yesterday.
A suburb in the St Louis area. Two knuckleheads steal a 65’ flatscreen from Walmart. Race out the door and run 2 blocks to the closest meto link station...patiently wait for the next train. Upon arrival, Archie and Jughead board said train and quietly take their seats, intending to ride the public convience back to the ‘hood several miles away. Of course the train makes multiple stops enroute. Walmart sees them board the train and call the police, who drive to the trains next stop. When the train stops and the doors open, the police board and arrest both, returning the TV to its rightful owner.
True story..

Lol, nice one bitt...
LA City Attorney George Gascon was backed by Soros and is doing a horrible job. The rich Democrats are finally waking up to this new breed of terrorism. Time for the police to take these thugs up in a C-130 and push them out the back of the plane into the ocean where the sharks can finish them off.
Gascon and Soros, right?
Sounds like a target rich environment.
