<\/p>\nA task force formed to halt a wave of “flash mob” robberies at high-end stores has arrested 11 more alleged participants in the thefts. <\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Police Department announced arrests related to robberies at the Glendale Americana at Brand mall of a Yves Saint Laurent store, a Warehouse Shoe Store in Highland Park, a Nordstrom in Canoga Park, and a Versace in Beverly Grove. <\/p>\n
The thefts repreented well more than $500,000 in merchandise.<\/p>\n
No information on the suspects has been released Thursday. Previously, the first arrest of a suspect in the Glendale robbery was nabbed, and police identified another suspect that they were searching for. <\/p>\n
The flash mob robberies involve waves of criminals coming into high-end stores and simply grabbing whatever merchandise they can in a short period. They then flee the scene in multiple vehicles. Authorities believe at least some of the thefts may be tied to the same group.<\/p>\n
The LAPD is working with the Glendale Police Department and the Beverly Hills Police Department, among other law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
The task force is investigating nine robberies, some of which appear to be linked, the LAPD said Thursday. <\/p>\n
