Overview

• Chino Police served a search warrant at an Upland home, seizing 14 boxes of stolen Labubu dolls valued at about $30,000.
• One resident tried to flee during the operation but surrendered, and the figurines were promptly returned to their lawful owners.
• Investigators tied the haul to multiple burglaries at a Chino warehouse and uncovered plans to ship the dolls across the country for resale.
• The bust follows other Southern California thefts, including a smash-and-grab at a La Puente toy shop that led to sheriff’s department recoveries.
• Originally retailing at around $30, Labubu figures have become coveted collectibles with rare editions fetching six-figure sums at auction.
