On Tuesday, LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the Police Commission that the department would be stepping up patrols and dedicating resources to some higher-end locations to deter the wave of mob thefts. Officers recovered several items of clothing, at least one cash register and gloves from the suspects' vehicle.
Los Angeles police arrested three suspects in connection with that incident. The break-ins came two days after an organized group broke into a Nordstrom at the Grove mall by smashing a window and stole thousands of dollars of merchandise. Officers were pursuing leads to catch those involved, the news release said.
The LAPD was also investigating a similar incident in which groups entered several stores in the Beverly Center on Wednesday, grabbed merchandise and ran out. Hamilton told CBS Los Angeles that extra officers had been deployed to the shopping center but the burglars were able to avoid them.
