LAPD Los Angeles LA gangs Bloods and Crips 'Follow-Home' Robberies

CAPT. TIPPET: “In my 34 years in the LAPD I have never seen this type of criminal behavior. In such large groups coordinating to conduct attacks on unsuspecting citizens to take their property and or vehicles. A total of 17 gangs have been identified so far.

These gangs are from the south Los Angeles area, and many of them are rivals from different sects, indicating that they're not working together.”

👮‍♀️Police have learned that the17 gangs, including the Bloods and Crips, are targeting wealthiest residents of the Los Angeles area by robbing them after they leave venues catering to the rich and famous. Police said that there were 165 so-called “follow-home” robberies in 2021 and 56 to date this year.

“This revolving-door criminal justice system that we have right now clearly is not working and is endangering the citizens of Los Angeles and is creating a public safety crisis,” Police Commission President Briggs said. “We need to find a solution.”
