Gangs are sending crews out in vehicle convoys to find, follow, and rob Los Angelinos they find driving high-end luxury cars or wearing expensive jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>SFGate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/news\/article\/17-LA-gangs-have-sent-out-crews-to-follow-and-rob-17076319.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that \u201cin many cases, [gang members are] making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches and other items worth tends of thousands of dollars \u2014 if not more \u2014 and then peddling them to black-market buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the police, some suspects in these robberies have been arrested but are soon released from custody, only to commit additional robberies.<\/p>\n<p>The police are calling these robberies \u201cfollow-home\u201d or \u201cfollow-off\u201d robberies because they are often taking place shortly after victims leave luxury boutiques, hotels, expensive restaurants, nightclubs, or other pricey locations where gang members scout for targets.<\/p>\n<p>Capt. Jonathan Tippet of the Los Angeles Police Department is spearheading a task force to identify and stop the individuals carrying out these attacks. He has identified at least 17 distinct gangs that operate independent \u201cfollow-home\u201d robbery operations. Many of these gangs are located in Los Angeles\u2019s southern neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, there were 165 of these robberies; there have been 56 so far in 2022. Reportedly, the region experiencing the plurality of these robberies is what the LAPD labels its \u201cHollywood Division.\u201d Of the more than 200 robberies, this division has experienced 50. <\/p>\n<p>The LAPD has used surveillance technology to identify gangs and crew members engaged in the robberies \u201crolling three to five cars deep in some of the attacks.\u201d Once the gang members get close enough to an identified target, they blindside their victim.<\/p>\n<p>Tippet suggested that the victims often don\u2019t even get a chance to voluntarily comply with their robbers before being violently attacked.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThere\u2019s no chance or opportunity for these victims even to comply. They\u2019re just running up to people and attacking them, whether that\u2019s putting a gun in their face or punching them and beating them. Pistol-whipping them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tippet said that in 23 of the robberies, shots have been fired, and two victims have been murdered. <\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIn my 34 years on the job, I\u2019ve never seen anything like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Street violence continues to spiral out of control in California, as gangs organize crews to carry out attacks on the wealthy elite of Los Angeles.More than a dozen Los Angeles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":489,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1436662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1436662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1436662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1436662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1436662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1436662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1436662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
