A group of bold thieves, two of whom didn't even bother covering their faces, were caught on camera filling trash bags with cosmetics at an Ulta Beauty salon in Los Angeles County as a security alarm blared and fed-up shoppers groaned.
'When are people gonna say enough?' an exasperated bystander can be heard saying as the group of at least six shoplifters fled the store and piled into a white Dodge Challenger in the parking lot of the Azalea shopping center in South Gate.
A witness to Thursday's Ulta robbery said the thieves 'knew exactly what they were doing.'
'They went straight for the perfume and cologne. Small, easy to grab and worth about $100 each,' she said.
California has been plagued by smash-and-grab looters during the past year, with many blaming the soft-on-crime policies of progressive Los Angeles County DA George Gascon.
The passage of Proposition 47 in 2014 also downgraded charges of property theft of less than $950 in value from a felony to a misdemeanor.
Non-violent property crimes under $950 have been downgraded to misdemeanors, while two or more people conspiring to 'cheat and defraud any person or any property, by any means which are in themselves criminal' face no more
The robbery at the beauty salon chain come on the heels of California Governor Gavin Newsom announcing new initiatives last week to combat the rising crime rate after packages discarded by thieves near the Union Pacific tracks in downtown Los Angeles made the site look 'like a third-world country.' than one year in county prison, a fine of $10,000 or a combination of the two.
Video showed several young women loading up bags of merchandise before scampering out of the store.

Saw the video of this a few days ago and my mom said “Look at the race of all of them” and I said “Yep” its always the same isnt it
Have the police determined a motive?
Why are they running?
Reparation Zombies ?
Congress?
Poverty and institutionalized racism, as always.
Libs are more angry at the people who post these videos that they are at the criminals starring in them.
I hope the Dem voters out there get their just comeuppances and right soon!
If you try that in a Black barber shop, you will come out more holy then you were when you went in
Hard to feel any sympathy.
That’s what LA votes for.
There are some people you wish would rob a beauty store because they need all the help they can get.
Gascon is working for Soros, Not the people of California.
Then of course, the big fey cashier narrating it says, in indignation, “When will people say enough!?”
How much you wanna bet he voted D in the last ten elections, even if he voted at all...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
And gramps used to tell me stories about how kids who stole hubcaps when he was a kid wound up in reform school.
Well.. the upside is that it’s just L.A.
Heck, they “raided” my Ulta in a modest shopping plaza with a Publix in Jacksonville FL.
I was going in the door and two large young black women...not teens, I’d say late 20s or possibly even early 30s....were charging out and almost ran me down. I apologized for not holding the door and then I saw that there was a third one right behind them. So I just stepped out of the way. They all had their arms full of boxes of high-end perfumes that they had just swept off the shelves.
There were clerks all over the place videoing it. And one was on the phone with the cops and said, “we’ve been hit again.” So this wasn’t the first time, obviously, here in this very modest shopping plaza in a decent but not wealthy part of town.
I was very upset by it. Especially the fact that these women just seemed to feel it was okay and they weren’t even hiding their faces or pretending to care if anybody saw them or caught them because they knew our society has broken down and nobody cares.
When idiots like the residents of the affected counties run these soros trash DAs out on a rail. And replace them with some good, old fashioned, Judge Roy Bean law and order guys.
Without looking, I’d wager that they be black.
Since murders are referred to as “gun crime,” I suggest that thievery be called “hand crime” or “sticky fingers crime.”
The “urban yutes” have an intrinsic criminal mindset. The only thing necessary for them to commit crimes is opportunity. Present them with an opportunity, and they will commit crime every time. It all stems from the criminal/gang culture they marinate in.
Nothing illustrates this better than the show “Bait Car”, in which undercover police abandon a camera and microphone-infested car in an “urban” neighborhood. Every single time, absolutely without fail, the moment the undercover officer driving it was out of sight a scene would ensue that looked like a cloud of locusts descending upon a fresh field. No matter what they were doing at the time, the moment the opportunity presented itself the entire neighborhood would flock to the car, many of them even fighting over who was going to get to steal it. It took only seconds.
The obvious takeaway is that these people are inherently criminal, and will immediately jump at any opportunity to steal, or worse.
You know without looking . . .
