LOS
ANGELES (AP) — A group of masked thieves stole about $7,000
worth of Labubu dolls from a Los Angeles-area store this week,
authorities said.
The incident took place early Wednesday morning at a store in La
Puente, a city about 18 miles (29 kilometers) east of Los
Angeles, the LA County Sheriff's Department said. The department
said the suspects used a stolen Toyota Tacoma in the incident,
which was recovered shortly afterward. The agency said it was
investigating the case and did not have additional information.
Labubu dolls, created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, have
become a popular collectible item a decade after the toothy
monsters were first introduced.
Toy vendor One Stop Sales said in an Instagram post that the
thieves took all of the store's inventory and trashed the
establishment. The store posted surveillance footage showing a
group of people wearing hoodies and face coverings breaking in.
The suspects are seen shuffling through items and carrying boxes
out of the shop.
“We are still in shock,” the store said in its post, urging
people to help find the thieves.
