Brazen thieves steal liquor worth thousands of dollars from LA store as security stands by
A group of insolent thieves barged into a busy Los Angeles grocery store and stole thousands of dollars worth of liquor as a security guard stood by amid the county’s woke District Attorney failing to be recalled.
The trending Twitter video captures the brazen thieves snatching bags and armloads filled with liquor bottles from a store before fleeing out the exit into broad daylight.
The two bandits in hoodies were rampaging throughout the liquor section of an unknown store as bystanders stood around and recorded the incident unfold.
A timid security guard is seen in the video standing a distance away from the thieves without interfering in the county that is known for its lenient criminal policies. The guard hesitated to get near the robbers but slowly crept forward to pick up what appeared to be a bag nearby the scene.
Visible weapons from the thieves didn’t appear in the video as documenters gathered around the scene.
‘Any one of you guys go and see what car they’re driving and get their license plate,’ a woman can be heard telling a group of bystanders as the thieves rapidly pick at the hard liquor section of the store.

The robbers quickly secured their duffle bags and grabbed a few more bottles in their hands before clanking off with them to the front of the store.
One suspect was seen wearing all black while the other wore a white colored hoodie. Their faces weren’t visible in the video.
Street People of LA – a page known to post videos ‘documenting the 3rd world city of Los Angeles’ – exposed the bandits on Twitter.
‘Equity in action,’ the video was captioned. ‘California values. Thieves steal thousands of $’s of liquor from supermarket and walk right out with zero repercussions celebrating DA George Gascon’s recall not qualifying for the ballot.’
The video of the robbery was posted days after progressive District Attorney Gascon failed to be recalled on Monday after organizers ruled that 200,000 signatures were invalid.
Los Angeles is one of the most populous counties in America that has seen an increase in crime rates, including more smash-and-grab robberies and home invasions. Critics have pointed the blame towards Gascon who has been for criminal justice reforms that critics have said fueled lawlessness.
The effort to recall the progressive District Attorney was the second attempt by critics after the first attempt failed last year.
Recall organizers needed to gather about 570,000 valid petition signatures to trigger an election. On Monday, the county registrar’s office announced they only found 520,000 valid signatures out of the 710,000 that were submitted.

Meanwhile, homicide and shooting victims statistics are neck to neck in comparison to last year – almost reaching the same amount. Overall, violent crime is up 5.7 percent with 18,852 cases since August 6 in comparison to 17,832 last year.
The city has been shocked by multiple daytime crimes, including the broad daylight murder of Brianna Kupfer on January 13 by a mentally ill man who stabbed her at random while she worked in an upscale furniture store.
