Why this matters in The Los Angeles
The burglary at the Poke Mall shop in Pico-Robertson is the latest incident to raise concerns about the security of businesses in the neighborhood. The fact that this shop was targeted earlier this year suggests that trading card stores may be particularly vulnerable to crime. The use of a black Mercedes-Benz as a getaway car also raises questions about the potential involvement of organized crime groups.
