LAPD Tells Resident To Bow To Criminals

Looks like they are reaping what they sowed. The LAPD put out a tweet telling residents that they were on their own when it comes to increased occurrences of robberies. They told residents to comply and just get ready to be good witnesses.

They said as much in a tweet they put out.

Due to an increase in violent street robberies, Robbery-Homicide Division has become aware of an ongoing crime trend of follow-home robberies. Suspects have been locating victims in Los Angeles, following them, and then committing the robberies as the victim arrives home or at their business.

Victims have been followed from such places like Melrose Avenue, the Jewelry District of Los Angeles, nightclubs, and high-end restaurants in Los Angeles. The target of these robberies has been expensive jewelry, including watches and necklaces, as well as expensive purses. Victims have also been targeted based on the type of vehicle they are driving. These crimes have occurred throughout the City of Los Angeles as well as neighboring
cities.

Different suspects have been identified and arrested for these types of crimes.
The following are recommendations for community members:• Be aware of one’s surroundings for anything unusual or out of the ordinary before exiting
your car, walking out of a restaurant, stores, malls, or clubs.

• Be cautious of displaying high-value property in public such as purses, watches, and
jewelry.

• Record and report suspicious activity to the police (write down suspicious suspect/vehicle
descriptions).

•If you are driving and believe you are being followed, dial 911. If possible, drive to the
nearest police station.

If you are being robbed, do not resist the robbery suspects; cooperate and comply with
their demands. Be a good witness.

• After a robbery, immediately call the police department by dialing 911. Immediately write
down everything you can remember about the crime, suspects, and suspect vehicle.

• Do not chase or follow the robbery suspect out of your place of business or home. Leave
the job of catching the suspects to the police.”

According to crime statistics from the police department, robberies went up 12.4 percent from the time period between August 29 to September 25, to the time period between September 26 to October 23.”

This is what happens when you cut your police force budget by $150 million. It looks like Californian residents are on their own and could really use an introduction to their gun rights, but seeing as how it’s California, they would likely refuse to arm themselves.
