And so I believe, when you have a crime like that, all of the \u2064actors are culpable and need to\u2064 be dealt with, and so we need to \u200clook at \u200dthe online sales of\u200c stolen property because that&#8217;s what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Consequences and Statistics<\/h3>\n<p>Mayor Bass highlighted \u2063the\u2062 use \u200cof bear spray as one of the \u200d&#8221;major consequences&#8221; faced by those caught committing felony theft.<\/p>\n<p>According\u200c to the Los Angeles County Sheriff&#8217;s \u2064Office, between\u200d the fall of 2021 \u2064and\u2063 August 16, there have been at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-launches-task-force-to-combat-smash-and-grab-robberies\/\" title=\"LA forms task force to tackle smash and grab robberies.\">170 organized retail thefts<\/a>, including smash and \u2063grab incidents, within \u2063the city&#8217;s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>For\u200d more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click\u200c here<\/a> to read the full \u200darticle from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass attributed criminals&#8217; main motivation to the profits gained from crime.
