The LAPD is alerting residents to, to be extra mindful and on guard after, uh, a recent spate of violent robberies across the city of Los Angeles
Mario's in the Fairfax, uh, district with more on this, uh, public safety bulletin
What propelled them to do this?
They— obviously, they've seen, uh, a rash of these kind of, uh, robberies
That's right, they saw a trend, Michaela, the LAPD, and now they're putting out information to help deter this type of activity
We've been talking about the rise in crime here along Melrose Avenue for months on Good Day LA
Now the LAPD is warning residents about an ongoing trend of follow-home robberies
Take a look, the department releasing this community alert
Police say that victims are being followed from places like the jewelry district in downtown LA, night clubs, high-end restaurants
And here along Melrose Avenue, where there's been a recent string of violent armed robberies
And surveillance video capturing some these incidents over the last several months
In one, you'll see sidewalk diners are robbed at gunpoint here along Melrose
Police say the target of these robberies has been expensive jewelry, including watches and necklaces, and expensive purses
Victims also being targeted based on the type of vehicle they're driving
The LAPD says it's happening more frequently throughout the city, with victims being targeted, watched, and then followed home
And they recommend being cautious of displaying high-valued property in public, being aware of your surroundings when walking out of a restaurant, mall, or nightclub, recording and reporting suspicious activity or vehicles to police
And if you feel like you're being followed—
(Damn, like that, Joog?)
