Los Angeles will be getting more help to crack down on a wave of organized retail crime after California Gov. Gavin Newsom directed the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to assist local law enforcement.
Newsom announced Aug. 17 the CHP would triple its resources in the region to tackle the crime wave. The agency will also allocate more investigators specifically assigned to a newly created task force dedicated to solving recent flash-mob burglaries and robberies.
