Los Angeles Theft Ring Exposed

Posted on: January 30, 2010 at 10:54 p.m.

A Los Angeles theft crime ring was exposed in downtown. Los Angeles police discovered a petty theft ring that stole bicycles. Undercover detectives in exposed this Los Angeles theft ring after they met a man in Santa Monica to buy a bicycle that he had posted on Craigslist the same day the bike's true owner had reported it stolen off Olympic Blvd in Downtown L.A.

This Los Angeles theft crime was fairly obvious because the particular bicycle that tipped police off was unique, a Sirrus bicycle which retails for about $600. When authorities went to meet the man, he pulled a bicycle out of his Mercedes' trunk, and when his accomplice came into the Motel Room sting operation, they saw he had bolt cutters and many other bicycles. This Los Angeles theft crime sting also uncovered several counterfeit bills, a computer and a printer for making counterfeit bills.

Los Angeles theft crime penalties can be serious, even for misdemeanors. A Los Angeles theft crime can lead to imprisonment, large fines, restitution, community service, probation and/or parole if the defendant is found guilty. Normally these crimes range from such petty theft crimes as stealing some food from a grocery store to more severe felonies such as grand larceny.

In this particular Los Angeles theft crime, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney will have a number of challenges. While stealing one bicycle might be petty theft, stealing multiple bicycles could lead to a felony theft charge. That, plus the counterfeit charge is a federal charge, meaning the entire crime could be charged in federal court.
