Authorities in Los Angeles are currently on the lookout for over a dozen individuals involved in a Nike Store heist that resulted in the theft of approximately $12,000 worth of merchandise.
Video footage of the incident captures individuals with masks and hoods swiftly moving through the store, hastily collecting shoeboxes and tearing clothes off racks before making their escape.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the incident occurred on Sunday around 5:50 p.m. when a group of 17 suspects arrived at a shopping center on the 9800 block of South Alameda Street in five separate vehicles. The suspects, as described by LAPD, consist of four Black females and 13 Black males, all aged between 15 to 20 years old. The vehicles used by the suspects were identified as a tan Infiniti four-door, a gray KIA SUV, a white Honda four-door, and a black Audi.
The video footage shows the suspects using blue trash bags to swiftly collect stolen goods. In the midst of the chaos, the cries of a child can be heard. Notably, one of the suspects was seen wearing a distinctive hooded sweatshirt adorned with a logo featuring a bonsai tree and the words “Ritual of the Spirit.”
The Los Angeles Police Department has classified this incident as a “grand theft” and is actively investigating it with the assistance of detectives from the Organized Crime Retail Taskforce (ORCT) within the Commercial Crimes Division. Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the incident to contact Detective Juan Campos at ORCT.
The surge in organized retail crime gained momentum during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and has resulted in losses exceeding $100 billion in products throughout the United States, as reported in the 2022 National Retail Security Survey.

When will Merrick Garland and Chris Wray keep their promise and crack down on WHITE middle class males in this country?! How much longer can we tolerate white supremacist incidents like this?! Enough!
This is what California keeps voting for. Hope they’re happy.
On a similar note, I hope Gazans are happy with the consequences of their elections.

It wasn’t necessary to note the race of the criminals. Anyone with a particle of brain matter would’ve quickly figured it out.
catching president Trump is more important
well at least we can get an accurate description of them; Unprivileged group of responsible mask wearing “individuals” who care for others safety by not spreading Covid, gender and color unknown, “borrow” a few items from a Nike Store.
Hey why are you all questioning these future scientists?

Check eBay for some great deals on Nike products.
waste of stealing time. If these poople had brains they should have robbed a jewelry store or something with more valuable items than shoes. but what can we expect from Sh artz….
Everyone, just hold your horses, what your seeing is not as you think, it’s reparations.
As usual, it is racist to state the obvious, the thieves were African Americans.
Just look at how they hop in joy, the love for stealing, as Rav Avigdor Miller said, these (whatever you call them) will only cause destruction, crime, drugs, unrest etc.
Just remember the difference between 2023 and 1923:
In 1923 a robber was the criminal of injustice and crime,
In 2023 the robbed and the victim of crime is the criminal.
In 1923 demented sick lg**** “people” were assigned to special wards and injected,
In 2023 normal upstanding moral people are jailed for their morals and basic respect.
In 1923 the monkey was in the Jungle and the cage,
In 2023 the human is forcibly encaged in a mental propaganda of not correctly describing the obvious.
and the list goes on and on….
….Reminds you of Sedom…?
