LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is warning
criminals who cross into the county will be held "fully accountable for
their illegal actions."
What we know:
"I am standing at the border between LA County and San Bernardino County
where criminals used to enjoy crossing in the LA direction, thinking that little to no consequences would occur if they stole, robbed and engaged in criminal conduct," Hochman shared in a video posted on his X account on
Sunday.
"Times have changed! The fun is over. A new DA was elected. And criminals
in LA County will now be prosecuted and held fully accountable for their illegal actions," he continued.
Retail Theft Crackdown:
Last week, Hochman hailed the success of Proposition 36 for deterring
retail theft.
Prop 36, which California voters passed in November, increased some
shoplifting offenses from misdemeanors to felonies in an effort to crack
down on robberies and burglaries. Hochman said the increased penalties
serve as a warning to potential offenders.
SUGGESTED: LA DA Hochman touts Prop 36 success for deterring retail theft
"Is it working? Has Proposition 36 actually resulted in more felony
arrests? The answer is yes. Since Dec. 18, we have had over a thousand Proposition 36 arrests for thieves alone," Hochman said during a May 14
press conference.
