Los Angeles has created a dedicated task force to curb the increase in smash-and-grab robberies across the region.
Authorities said not only will they be cracking down on suspected robbers, but other individuals who may aid in these crimes, such as getaway drivers, those harboring suspects, and those who buy or sell stolen merchandise.
Officials also addressed the impact of the zero-bail policy, saying they will look at all chargeable offenses as robberies. "Each of these acts takes away from our piece of mind or our sense of our security when we want to go out and do shopping in retail communities," LAPD Deputy Chief Blake Chow said during the press conference in City Hall. "The Los Angeles Police Department will not tolerate these acts. We will not stand by idly while these acts continue."
