<p>Fourteen suspects were finally nabbed by Los Angeles police in connection to 11 recent &#8220;smash-and-grab&#8221; robberies causing upward of $340,000 in stolen merchandise and damages. However, due to the area&#8217;s &#8220;zero bail&#8221; policy, all 14 suspects have been released.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10271809/LA-cops-arrest-14-suspects-11-smash-grab-robberies-freed-zero-bail-policy.html">According</a> to the Daily Mail, Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti had a change of tune over the &#8220;zero bail&#8221; policy, tying the approach entirely to COVID and calling for its end.</p>
<p>&#8220;We need the help of our criminal justice system, of our judges, of our jailers,&#8221; Garcetti said during the presser, standing alongside Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have opened up a lot of the city because we&#8217;re in a better place with COVID,&#8221; the Democrat added. &#8220;We should be able to also open up our jails, and we should be able to have judges that put people behind those bars.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the report, a statewide policy of imposing $0 bail for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies was put to an end in Democrat-run California last year, &#8220;but it was kept in place within the LA County Superior Court system.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You could be arrested for a crime such as burglary, a serious felony&#8230; and that&#8217;s zero bail, meaning that we book and process and identify you, and then your arraignment day is three to four months from now,&#8221; said LAPD Chief Moore.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been estimated that the stores hit in the latest 11 &#8220;smash-and-grab&#8221; robberies total some $338,000 in goods, with an additional $40,000 in property damage. Numerous suspects still remain at large.</p>
<p>The robberies have been prevalent for months. In November, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/security-guard-murdered-while-protecting-news-team-covering-smash-and-grab-robbery">The Daily Wire</a> reported, a security guard in San Francisco was murdered while protecting a news team covering a “flash mob” theft:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;[A] crew from KRON4 — a local San Francisco news channel — covered one such story, in which 12 thieves wearing masks and hoods raided a clothing store. As an assailant tried to steal KRON4’s camera equipment, Kevin Nishita — an armed guard hired to protect the crew — was shot in the abdomen. He passed away on Saturday morning after receiving treatment at Highland Hospital.</em></p>
<p><em>“The victim is Kevin Nishita. He leaves behind a wife, two children and three grandchildren,” explained <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/kron4-security-guard-dies-from-injuries-after-attempted-armed-robbery/">KRON4</a>. “Nishita worked as an armed guard for Star Protection Agency. Prior to working as a guard, he served as a police officer at the Oakland Housing Authority, Hayward Police, San Jose Police, and the Colma Police departments. A reward of $32,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>“It’s been an extremely violent week,” Oakland police said during a press conference following the tragedy. “We are asking if you were in the area, have a business or live nearby to please check your surveillance footage as you may have captured the crime before, during, or after it occurred.”</p>
