As she waited for the electronic doors to close, a brazen pair of robbers accosted a mother and her child on the street.
Los Angeles Police Department shared the video on Twitter Tuesday and is now asking for assistance in finding the suspects responsible for robbing the mother on Sunday. Los Angeles Police Department posted the video Tuesday on Twitter. The footage shows an unidentified woman walking into the driveway of the mother with her infant, a stroller, and carrying her child.
Two robbers walked past the house, and then turned around to enter the residence before the electronic gates closed. The robbers then stand behind the woman and take her diaper bag. They grab her cooler from her stroller, before moving on to the car.
‘Fearing for her and her child’s safety, the victim complied’ with the thieves demands that she hand over her belongings, the LAPD wrote in its Twitter post. This horrific crime appears to be a crime by chance. The robbers walked past an open gate and then decided to enter the house to find the woman.
As she waited for the electronic doors to close, a pair of thieves accosted a mother and her child in her driveway at her Los Angeles home.
Before stealing her diaper bag, a cooler and fleeing in silver sedans, the men demanded that she surrender all of her belongings.
The robbery happened on Sunday around 5.10pm in the city’s wealthy Hancock Park neighborhood. According to police, the suspects are black men in their 20s. They fled in a silver sedan with tinted glass.
According to Redfin the average house cost in Hancock Park at present is $1.9million. Prices listed on Zillow start from $4999,000 and go up to $25 million.
The brazen mugging comes amid a surge in robberies, home invasions and ‘smash-and-grab’ shoplifting incidents throughout Los Angeles and California. Los Angeles saw a 3.6% jump in robberies, compared to last.
There were 7,386 robberies in Los Angeles this year through November 20, the LAPD’s most recent data, as compared to 7,386 last year.

After a weekend of violence that left three people dead, the break-in occurred. Kevin Nishita was a retired officer who had been a father to two children and was protecting a TV crew from a Smash and Grab.
On Wednesday, Nishita was assigned to protect the KRON4 crew when an armed robber attacked the television crew with their cameras. Nishita was a former officer in police and confronted the 12 masked criminals who tried to rob reporters. The thief then shot Nishita in the lower abdomen. The victim was taken to Highland Hospital for surgery. He died Saturday morning.
It comes amid a surge in robberies and crime through Los Angeles and California, including a home shooting Tuesday that killed Clarence Avant’s wife
Jaqueline Avant’s murder scene is being investigated by investigators after an alleged home intruder shot and killed the victim.
Over the weekend, three Oakland victims were killed: Kevin Nishita, a father-of-2 and grandfather of-3 Nishita. While protecting a television crew that was reporting on a smash-and grab raid, he was fatally shot.

KRON4, NexstarMedia Inc.’s parent company, Nishita’s employer Star Protection Agency, and the Oakland Police Department issued $32,500 rewards for information regarding the suspects.
KRON4 Vice President Jim Rose released a statement saying that they were devastated by Kevin Nishita’s death. “This senseless death is caused by yet another criminal act in Bay Area.”
California’s cities also witnessed a flood of violent robberies over the Black Friday week, despite the Governor. Gavin Newsom pledged to end the state’s organized’smashand-grabs.
According to the LA Police Department, a group of people entered the Bottega Veneta shop in LA’s Beverly Grove shopping district at 5:21 pm. They snatched expensive merchandise and then one person was pepper-sprayed in the face.
Eight people entered a Lakewood Home Depot at 7:55 pm. They stole wrenches, hammers and sledgehammers. Customers were threatened and fled with 10 escape cars.
CBS reported that Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department was particularly concerned by the Home Deport Robbery because tools taken could be used in other stores.
Newsom said last week that Newsom would offer an “exponential level of support” to cities to combat the retail theft rings.
To discourage looters during Black Friday, he also promised to boost police patrols in the shopping centers across the state. However, this was not achieved.
Newsom claimed that his plan for the next budget will increase funding for cities in order to tackle organized retail criminality. He also promised last week to “step up” police patrols around Black Friday to discourage looters.
Newsom declared, “We must break up these crime bands, and we should make an example of these people,” This cannot continue.
However, Republicans were furious at Newsom’s comments. They argued that Newsom had adopted soft policies which set the scene for burglaries he promised to fight.
Proposition 47 is one. It was approved by Californians in 2014, and prohibits shoplifters from being charged with felonies in the case of thefts less than $950.
Officials in California have put the blame for this string of crime on the state’s indifferent attitude to nonviolent thefts. On November 22nd, 20 robbers broke into the Nordstrom at The Grove store in Los Angeles, taking $5,000 in merchandise. The CVS pharmacy was also broken into and looters took $8,000 from the cash register.
In connection to robberies at Bloomingdales, Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Bloomingdale’s last week, nine people were charged.
