Rising crime in LA
Unfortunately, Bleu isn’t the only example of the recent rise of crime in Los Angeles.
In December 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department warned civilians of the rise in crime. More and more people were smashing and grabbing to steal possessions.
“The rash of these smash-and-grab type crimes have placed community members and store employees in significant danger due to the violence that’s associated with them,” Police Chief Michael Moore informed.
In addition, there was a recent house party ambush near Los Angeles that took four civilian lives. According to Mayor James T. Butts, the attack was because the survivor was involved with a gang from another city.
