Luna, Sheriff | | | | Advisory: #LASD Major Crimes Bureau-BRTF Arrest Multiple Organized Retail Theft Suspects Dear Pepperdine Libboard, In an effort to quell the rise in Organized Retail Theft, which has caused a direct effect on the quality of life of the citizens and businesses in Los Angeles County, the LASD Major Crimes Bureau Metro Detail – Burglary-Robbery Taskforce (BRTF) worked in conjunction with the East Los Angeles Station Special Problems Team and Summer Enforcement Team to apprehend suspects, deter criminal activity, and protect life and property in partnership with the Nike Community Store in East Los Angeles.
On June 2, 2023, and June 03, 2023, Detectives with BRTF conducted a surveillance operation at the Nike Community Store, which has experienced losses exceeding $750,000 dollars during the past year. During the operation 12 arrests were made, 9 of which were felonies. An Organized Retail Theft crew was identified and arrested, and $2669.28 of recovered merchandise was returned to Nike.
BRTF detectives and deputies from the East Los Angeles Station teams conducted follow-up related to one of the theft incidents and recovered an assault rifle from a residence. During the course of the operation, the East Los Angeles Station Special Problems Team and Summer Enforcement Team deputies assisted with the recovery of two stolen vehicles, one of which was involved in a carjacking.
The LASD MCB BRTF was formed over ten years ago to combat the ever-increasing trend of organized crews who are committing residential burglaries along with violent robbery crime trends. The MCB BRTF works closely in support of all LASD station’s detective bureaus, as well as other Southern California law enforcement agencies. Residents and business owners are reminded to secure their properties, be aware of suspicious and unusual persons or vehicles, and to alert their local law enforcement immediately if suspicious activity is observed.
Residents should call 911 if a life-threatening emergency is detected and/or their local police business line if a suspicious person or vehicle is observed. The MCB BRTF can be contacted via e-mail at BRTF@LASD.org for tips, questions, or concerns.
