I actually know a female white on this list and posible a male hispanic. Both work at my place of employment and they are both not at work anymore. The girl looked like she would never harm a fly. I was so worong. But the rummor at work is the girl cannot make bail and she is still in jail. I want to go bail her out and then pimp her out to make my money back. LOL…….Miranda im gonna jack your stapler at work. LOL…..payback for jacking at my favorite store.

Notagain!!!! says
15 people? I’m sure theres more than that! Why are we going after the smaller crooks? Why not go after the crooked a$$ politicians, bankers or all them thieves that brought down the economy!!! Let’s go after the big ballers!!!
ryenisha jackson says
they steal because they mama is to busy getting her hair and nails done and buying her babys daddy tattoos what do you think wefare is for lololol
lovedamayo says
Good to know the LASD is doing something more productive than escorting our mayor around his Blvd. so he doesn’t get beaten up.
robert c. says
Why steal???
Otto says
Because losers steal, and they only ask “why not?”!!
sikntired says
Yup, the moral compass has been totally skewed, so best keep your eyes open and try to stay out of harm’s way in this”the most
wonderful time of the year.”
Plz Leave the AV says
This was an informative article, this type crime happens everyday at Wal-Mart. Along with the countless other crimes that occur here in the AV. I would also like to see the pictures of the people that were arrested, if is useful to everyone, maybe not the criminal but to the citizen that lives here abiding by the law. Stealing from a store leads to Burglary of a residence. I just would like to see what they look like , so if I see then loitering in my neighborhood I can make a call to LASD. Better yet , good work Wal-Mart & Loss Prevention & LASD.
QHR says
Hopefully they lose their section 8 vouchers and get the hell out of this town!
annie says
When they lose their section 8 vouchers the owners will replace them with another person with a section 8 voucher. Who owns these homes that are rented to people on section 8?
Anonymos says
You know, if parents were ACTUALLY allowed to spank their children instead of having to wip worry that some person is gonna yell “child abuse” then we wouldn’t have so many delinquents in this world. Nosy people from DCFS are the reason why kids are so disrespectful and mischievious.
Nancy P says
They may not be the only reason, but the worry about someone screaming child abuse doesn’t help when a parent is punishing their kid.
Newman says
Losers! Now we need their pictures.
alyssa says
Why do they include the race? Don’t get me wrong…I’m pretty smug about it because I believe stereotypes exist for a reason. Racial profiling exists for a reason. And here it is in black and white living proof. BUT…the race shouldn’t matter. I don’t see the relevance to the article…
Concered says
I am sure they are just pulling off the arrest records. I can see why they do it for identification, but I get you point Alyssa.
Notagain!!!! says
Letting the public know what race committed the crime is very critical!! Also let’s us know off our surroundings on the type of people that are committing the crimes. If a child molester didnt have to register, I sure as hell wouldn’t want them leaving next door to me! I just wished they would also list the names of them juveniles who also to commit crimes!!! Most of these people committing these crimes tend to do it else were!
Forewarned says
Good job! We hard working, tax paying citIzens appreciate the work you do! Keep it up! ^ 5
J. Ripper says
What constitutes the Burglary charge, I wonder? They didn’t make it out of the store before getting caught, so it can’t go down as theft?
Otto says
Burglary is “entering with the intent to commit a felony or petty theft”….that’s all ya need.
Nancy P says
Like maybe they didn’t have the money on them to pay for what they were caught concealing?
Otto says
Exactly. The “intent” has to be shown and/or proven.
Bob says
Coming into a store with no wallet, no money, and a car missing plates would constitute the intent.
Also, the use of special devices to remove/defuse rfid or other security devices would also be part of that.
Concered says
Your wife, and new husband, the LASD deputy, happen to send you a Holiday card Ace?
Bob says
Good, glad these punks got arrested. Hope since these are young ones they learn real fast not to do this crime.
The parents of those five juveniles better take this as a wake up call, otherwise their dumb girls are headed down a dark and dangerous path.
Time to start bringing back more serious punishments to curve these behavior.
AVtime reader says
Who knows? Maybe their parents are on above list!
Milos says
BINGO…give AVTime reader a cigar.
Nancy P says
If the parents and the kids were there…(IF) would the parents also get charged with some kind child abuse or endangerment along with the other charges?
Otto says
Off with their hands!!!….same as with lowlife tsggers.
Otto says
Damn Iphone….taggers.
sikntired says
Ha ha Otto, you know they would sue for state of the art robotic limb replacements, then come back stronger.
Otto says
HA…Good point. How about off with their heads…I don’t think anything robotic is available to fix that!
LoyalSprintCustomer says
The line for decapitation/amputation, is getting longer and longer…taggers, shoplifters and multiple DUI arrests.
Otto says
May need to hire a few more ax-men. That’s one government program for which I’d be happy to pay a little more in taxes.
avresident says
All in one day?!?! Holy Sh#t! No wonder prices keep creeping up, damn effing vermin!
