A girl of just 14 is among an organized gang of female looters arrested after the latest in a series of brazen daylight raids targeting stores in California.
She and her mentors did not even bother to disguise themselves as they ransacked the Nike store in Irvine, grabbing armfuls of clothes as they sauntered around before strolling unchallenged into the street.
The latest raid came as 12 LA counties launched a last-ditch legal challenge to the Democrat state's new zero-bail law, which allows 'presumptive innocent' suspects to return to the streets immediately after arrest.
'The elimination of cash bail for these types of offenses is really an invitation to these kind of folks who are inclined to break the law and inclined to do it so brazenly,' warned Tom Saggau of the LA Police Protective League.
Security footage of Thursday's attack shows the four, and an unknown male accomplice, make off with round $3,000 of clothing including hoodies, pants, shirts, sports bras.
Police said the four are thought to be a part of an organized retail crime group which has stolen around $11,000 in a series of previous raids on Nike stores in Irvine, Carlsbad and San Clemente.
Zero bail was first introduced to combat overcrowding in the city's jailed during the pandemic but expired last summer.
LA rapper 50 Cent warned the city was 'finished' after it announced it would reintroduce the policy earlier this summer.
He spoke out after a judge in the Democrat-run city ruled that holding inmates to cash bail when they can't afford to pay was a violation of their constitutional rights.
'LA is finished watch how bad it gets out there. SMH [shaking my head],' the hip hop star wrote on social media.

People who work for a living, pay taxes, and buy stuff are suckers.
At one time, those areas were Republican strongholds. The POC have been totally emboldened. Amazing...

These businesses could avoid a lot of this by having a rule that states “No one under 18 unless with parent or guardian”
Black youth, parents (or in most cases, legal guardian) who could give a rats ass about them, IF they do go to school which is rarely, learn that they are victims due to their race..run around and steal whatever they want because they think its “Owed” to them that is the society the Dem party created by design
Just last week before closing time at the Camarillo outlet, 6 goons went into the Gucci store and stole 75 grand worth of purses(Even came with wire cutters) no one did a damn thing and my sister has been there a few times they have armed security but he didnt do anything
There's only one LA County.
about 40 years ago I knew a guy that would shoplift one or two items (e.g. cans of Campbells soup) every time he went grocery shopping. I considered it offsetting the increased prices he was paying due to shrinkage (shoplifting).
In a democracy you not only get the government you want. You get the government you deserve.
One reason California is a country I avoid.

California has as much in common with my country, Kentucky (both US nations), as Switzerland has with Ireland (both EU nations)

When you’ve lost fiddy... you know things are bad.
The “customers” aren’t quite as svelte as the mannequins.
Yup. Puzzled me for a minute. Brits.
Yep. It’s harder to loot Amazon. Not that some haven’t tried by robbing trucks or building their porch pirate careers. Porch pirating takes more effort, though, which is probably why you tend to see more white drug addicts or Hispanics doing it. It doesn’t seem to appeal as much to the “gib me dat” crowd. If you think about it, porch pirating is kind of like a reverse delivery job, and the “gib me dats” are allergic to jobs.

In comparison to the revenue the state is losing, They’d save money by building more prisons
