Two suspects are in custody after an smash-and-grab robbery at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, after Marine recruiters at nearby military recruitment center at the mall jumped into action.

The robbery happened Tuesday, at a jewelry store in the mall. According to Torrance police, four people wearing hoodies and covering their faces used hammers to smash the glass of the display cases and grab as much jewelry as they could.

Two of the suspects were able to escape, but the other two were taken to the ground by Marine recruiters and bystanders who heard the robbery unfold, and were able to detain the two suspects, both minors, until police were able to get there.

Dishonorable discharges in their immediate future, and possible assault charges.

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of California. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

They didn't note that, like the Louisville Slugger baseball bats, these had endorsement signatures.

Paul Pelosi model hammers.

A secondary charge would be for twice using gender specific terms when the Marines called the bad guys "son of bee-atches".

I sure hope they used their preferred pronouns before they took care of business.

It’s tongue in cheek, but thanks for the literal outcome.

Not from anyone in Torrance. I live here and we like our military.

Torrance, until the China flu ended it, had the longest running Armed Forces Day parade in America. (60 years)

As for the thieves they will probably be let go tomorrow…

“Dishonorable discharges in their immediate future, and possible assault charges.”

Add lawsuits and probably civil rights violations.
