L.A. County supervisors unanimously approved a motion to secure a $15.6 million state grant to help the sheriff's department fight organized retail theft.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion Tuesday to secure a $15.6 million state grant to boost the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's response to organized retail theft.
"The shameless smash and grabs need to be stopped,'' said Board Chair Janice Hahn, who co-authored the motion with Supervisor Hilda Solis. "These are not petty thefts -- these are organized violent operations that rob businesses of thousands upon thousands of dollars in merchandise, physically damage stores, and traumatize retail workers,'' Hahn said. "This is a priority and with this $15.6 million grant, the Sheriff's Department will have new resources to prevent these smash-and-grabs and root out the criminal organizations behind them.
Organized thefts targeting large retailers and smaller jewelry and clothing stores have become a major problem across Los Angeles County this year, with criminals gathering in large numbers and using multiple vehicles to commit robberies in broad daylight, usually wearing masks, and fleeing before authorities arrive.
