10 more people are arrested after a two-day undercover investigation of a recent heist at the Nike Community Store in East Los Angeles.
thieves around 5:30 p.m. Aug. 13 walking out of the Nike store in East Los Angeles with thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise, according to KTLA. They fled in a red SUV.
The sheriff’s department arrested six people in connection with the flash mob after deputies stopped an SUV on Aug. 17 and found large bags with Nike sneakers. In video of the brazen robbery on the station’s site, one robber is seen calmly walking out with a trash bag overflowing with shoeboxes. The thief clumsily leans over to pick up boxes that fell from the bag as more fall onto the floor.
This most recent operation took place on Thursday and Friday in conjunction with Nike and its loss prevention team in an effort to “apprehend suspects, deter criminal activity, and protect life and property at the Nike Community Store in East Los Angeles.” Two of the suspects recently arrested had outstanding arrest warrants, one of which was a shoplifting warrant. The suspects’ names were not released, and it’s unclear whether any of them had a connection to the Aug. 13 incident.
