Overview

  • Officials said at least eight people have been charged, with ten total suspects linked to the crew, including two already jailed on unrelated attempted murder cases.
  • Police executed search warrants at eight locations on Aug. 20 and reported seizing 15 firearms, high-capacity magazines, body armor, narcotics, radios, masks, and cash.
  • Prosecutors described the defendants as repeat offenders and confirmed members of the Rollin' 30s and 55 Neighborhood gangs who targeted high-end jewelry, watches, handbags, wallets, and firearms.
  • Detectives cited sophisticated tactics such as hidden cameras and signal jammers, with most burglaries in West Los Angeles and near LAX and additional incidents in the San Fernando Valley, not tied to the recent Encino wave.
  • District Attorney Nathan Hochman said his office will seek maximum penalties, noted arrests of fencers moving stolen goods, and said major online marketplaces are cooperating as roughly 45 more burglaries remain under investigation.
