At least 17 Los Angeles street gangs are behind a sudden spike in brazen robberies in which robbers follow people home from high-end locations and make off with expensive jewelry or other goods, police officials said Tuesday.
The gangs, mostly based in South Los Angeles, independently staged robberies and sometimes used spotters to target people wearing luxury watches or driving pricey cars, Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who spearheads an LAPD "follow-home robbery" task force, told the city Police Commission.
Michael Moore, chief of the LAPD, said they don't believe the robberies are spontaneous.
"We believe that many times, these offenders are scouting out locations, setting up advance people, may even have relationships with parking valets or store employees," Moore said.
Robberies happened in the San Fernando Valley, on the west side and downtown Los Angeles.

Sorry. Shouldn’t have carried water for the left.
Death wish
Well duh.

Less a military issue than gun control issue. People like Biden are just as guilty as Putin for a Ukraine genocide due to gun control.
Jay Leno better be careful when he's doing his car episodes. At least he would capture the action on about 15 different cameras.
It will be fantastic if the Democrats suddenly react to protect the wealthy after DECADES of leaving common folk to the criminal wolves.
They voted for these policies and now the results. No sympathy for them whatsoever. And the bloody fools KEEP voting for the same stupidity.
I sure hope they visit cher and bette midler and babs streisand. They have lots of money too and they aren’t to bright so they would be easy pickins’.
No shit, Sherlock!
That is what the people voted for time after time. They elect and re elect Democrats. Democrats are evil incarnate.
Rich, poor and everybody in between does anyone really feel sorry for these people? They’ve isolated themselves and now they’re going to have to defend themselves. I’m stating the obvious but they are really screwed, but they’re rich.
And, Poof, there goes their tax base.

I am really struggling to develop any feelings of sympathy.
To quote Bob Dylan, “I use to care, but things have changed.”
I thought criminals only targeted the police, which is why the police need more powerful guns than the public at large.
