Los Scandalous - Drakeo The Ruler

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?)
