Police in Southern California find US$30,000 worth of Labubus stolen from warehouse
CHINO, Calif. — A police department in Southern California recovered about US$30,000 worth of Labubu dolls that were stolen from a warehouse, the agency announced this week.
The collectible items have recently surged in popularity. The Labubus were stolen in a series of trips that spanned multiple days, the Chino Police Department said in a social media post. Law enforcement found the items at home in Upland, a city in the state's Inland Empire.
The announcement comes as authorities in Los Angeles County investigate a separate incident in which thieves stole about $7,000 worth of the toothy little monsters from a store in La Puente.
Chino Police obtained a search warrant to enter the home in Upland, the agency said. One suspect attempted to flee but later surrendered, the department said.
Detectives found 14 boxes of stolen items and evidence indicating the suspects were planning to resell and ship the collectibles across the country, the department said.
The Labubu, created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, was first introduced in 2015 and is sold by China's Pop Mart.

(AP Photo/Nicolas Garriga) Fisheries and Oceans Canada officers arrested one person in southwest Nova Scotia Tuesday after officers seized 22,638 kilograms (49,795 pounds) of scallop meat, worth about $1.1 million. The department says fishery officers from the Barrington detachment first detected the fishing vessel using a Vessel Monitoring System, before dispatching an offshore surveillance unit to visually confirm the vessel was fishing illegally in the closed area. 'Fishery officers boarded the vessel at sea and seized the catch. The un-shucked scallops on board were returned live to the ocean, and the captain was directed to take the vessel to Shelburne where the rest of the catch was offloaded,' reads a news release from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The department says the unnamed person was arrested for violations under the Fisheries Act, including fishing in a closed area – Scallop Fishing Area 29 D. The incident is under investigation.

Uber and Lyft stickers are seen on a ride share vehicle is seen at the Nashville International Airport, Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/George Walker IV) LANCASTER, Massachusetts -- An Uber driver was about to drop off his last passenger of the night when he pulled up on a tree branch laying across the road in Lancaster, Massachusetts. Esmelky Acevedo, 33, said he was driving down the tree lined Seven Bridges Road around 1 o'clock Thursday morning. Acevedo said he got out of his car to move the branch when two men suddenly jumped out of the woods and ran for his car. The passenger was still inside. 'I don't know if they wanted to rob us but what I can see is that they wanted the car so bad,' Acevedo told WBZ-TV. 'To be honest it went so fast I just reacted to the situation. I was there but it wasn't me. I could tell it was God taking control of the situation.' Man pointed gun at passenger Lancaster police said one of the two suspects jumped in the driver's seat, and the other ran to the back of the car to pull the Uber passenger out of the car. Acevedo said that man pointed a gun at the woman and demanded her cellphone and other belongings. In the meantime, Acevedo said he pulled the suspect out of the driver's seat. A struggle ensued but Acevedo said he was able to regain control of the car. In bit of quick thinking, Acevedo decided to put the car in drive. An attempt, he said, to distract the suspects so his passenger could run away. 'I kept moving, doing that same process, keep moving, keep moving, so that they could have a good distance between [the passenger] and the two guys,' he said. Acevedo said he then put the car in reverse and accelerated quickly to catch up to the passenger who jumped in the car. The pair called 911. Police say branch was a setup Lancaster police said the suspects used the branch as a setup. Investigators described the men as, 'Hispanic males of smaller stature.' Acevedo said police had possession of his car after he noticed fingerprints on the side of it. The Uber driver of four years said he's never had anything like this happen to him and was thankful his instincts kicked it. 'I did the best that I can to protect [the passenger] and to face the situation because I don't want to happen to anyone else.' Lancaster police said they are continuing to investigate but noted there was no ongoing threat to the public. By Brandon Truitt
