"Over a dozen suspects tied to the spate of nearly a dozen smash-and-grab robberies in Los Angeles were busted but then quickly released due to zero-bail policies, which has left the LAPD’s top cop frustrated. The 14 arrests followed a rash of 11 flash-mob type raids in which nearly $350,000 in goods was swiped in just 10 days in the City of Angels last month, with the last on Nov. 28, LAPD chief Michel Moore said Thursday.
"All of the suspects taken into custody are out of custody," Moore complained, blaming zero-bail criteria for the release of all but one, who was a juvenile. The 11 raids caused at least $40,000 in property damage, Moore said, insisting that the impact on the community now terrified of violent raids "cannot be overstated." California’s statewide policy of imposing no bail for misdemeanors and lower-level felonies was introduced last year to help reduce the jail population at the height of the pandemic. Although it was due to end late last year, it has been kept in place within the LA County Superior Court system. Mayor Eric Garcetti backed the police chief’s complaint, insisting, "There are people who need to be behind bars."
