Two high-profile suspects in Los Angeles County were released within hours of their arrests on Aug. 18, drawing criticism by some about the county’s recently reinstated zero-cash bail policy.

Ivan Ramirez, the first suspect arrested in connection with the flash-mob burglary at the Glendale Yves Saint Laurent store this month, was issued a citation and released from custody, just hours after his arrest because of the policy.
