On Wednesday, robbers attacked a security guard and stole designer handbags worth an estimated $25,000 from the Nordstrom store at the Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park. Information about a sixth robbery was not available on Saturday afternoon. The specific items that were taken were not immediately known. Then, about 6:50 p.m., three men, at least one armed with a handgun, robbed a shopper of his personal property while inside a store in the 7800 block of Melrose Avenue, Lopez said.
The suspect shoved the employee down and sprayed a chemical agent before fleeing without the property. In the second one, a man attempted to steal items from a store, but was confronted by an employee, Lopez said. In one incident, about 10 men ran into a store and took several items, punched a security guard and shoved an employee before fleeing, Lopez said. Two of the incidents took place in the 130 block of South La Brea Avenue around 5:30 p.m., Lopez said. Three suspects took items from a store, but were arrested on suspicion of grand theft a short time later after officers pulled their vehicle over for a violation and spotted items with price tags and sensor alarms, Lopez said. The first reported robbery took place about 4 p.m. Saturday, spokesman Officer Mike Lopez said. LAPD issued a citywide tactical alert from 8:30 p.m.
