Amid the robbery, a store worker can be heard directing people to document the license plate number of the thieves’ getaway vehicle.
The Daily Mail reports a store security guard on-site was powerless to stop the robbers as the city’s policies essentially allow these types of thefts.
Despite the mayhem, an idle security guard was seen standing a distance away from the thieves without interfering – in the county that is known for its lenient criminal policies.
The guard hesitated to get near the robbers, but slowly crept forward to pick up what appeared to be a bag nearby after the group had caused the commotion.
A woman can be heard telling a group of bystanders: ‘Any one of you guys go and see what car they’re driving and get their license plate,’Brazen thieves steal liquor worth thousands of dollars from LA store.’
“Equity in action,” Twitter user @streetpeopleLA wrote. “California values. Thieves steal thousands of $’s of liquor from a supermarket and right out with zero repercussions celebrating DA George Gascon’s recall not qualifying for the ballot.”
The recall effort of Democrat LA County District Attorney Gascon failed Monday after the city registrar’s office disputed the validity of nearly 200,000 signatures on a ballot seeking his ouster.
It’s unclear whether the thieves were caught.
In another video out of San Francisco, California, a thief commits a brazen daylight smash and grab from a vehicle right in front of a person who’s filming the entire event.

The situation in California is getting so out of control shopkeepers are having to stay vigilant and mete out their own brand of justice, as crime in the Golden State largely goes unpunished.
