Los Angeles police are investigating overnight burglaries at two cannabis dispensaries in downtown Los Angeles that they believe are connected. Officers responded at about 1 a.m. on Tuesday, October 27, to reports that suspects were ramming a store on Imperial Street with a vehicle. A security guard who was inside the store hid during the break-in.
Police chased one vehicle for about five minutes and arrested three suspects. Officers also found evidence of a break-in at a second dispensary on Mateo Street, a few blocks away, but did not locate suspects there. Vehicle-ramming burglaries are fast and dangerous. In that moment, a guard's job is to stay safe and report; property can be replaced. The real protection is built before the night it is needed.
