You can't make it through the day on social media without seeing several videos of thugs smashing and grabbing businesses in either Los Angeles or San Francisco.
These thugs targeted a shopping center in Los Angeles, robbing jewelry from a merchant as he tried to fight them off.
Seeking to quell growing public concern amid a surge in “smash-and grab” robberies, authorities in Los Angeles announced Thursday that 14 people have been arrested in connection with 11 such robberies from North Hollywood to South Los Angeles in recent weeks.
The suspects all have been released, either due to their age, posting bail or zero bail policies, Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said when he joined Los Angeles city leaders and FBI officials near City Hall to discuss the recent “smash-and-grab” robberies throughout the region.
