   The Los Angeles Police Department arrested eight individuals, including   
   six juveniles aged 15 and under in connection with organized retail thefts   
   from around the city.   
      
   Authorities say the eight people arrested were involved in several   
   incidents of theft and shoplifting from local businesses. The group would   
   then allegedly trade or sell the stolen items to vendors along the   
   Alvarado Corridor, which is located near McArthur Park, just outside of   
   downtown Los Angeles.   
      
   One suspect, identified as 31-year-old Yoselin Quintanilla, was booked for   
   receiving stolen property. Another adult — whose name is being withheld —   
   was arrested for a no-bail parole violation warrant.   
      
   Three juveniles between the ages of 11 and 15 were arrested for Estes   
   robbery after the suspects were caught trying to sell stolen merchandise   
   to vendors on the Alvarado Corridor.   
      
   Two other youths who are 14 and 15 years old were referred to the Los   
   Angeles County Juvenile Detention Program, while an 11-year-old girl was   
   released to her parents. The identities of the juvenile suspects are being   
   withheld due to their age.   
      
   The group is accused of stealing several types of goods including   
   clothing, shoes, and household products.   
      
   LAPD says investigating officers were able to recover approximately $4,600   
   worth of stolen items and returned the merchandise to the appropriate   
   retailers.   
      
   Organized retail theft has been a major issue for businesses in L.A.   
   County, with 200 cases filed last year.   
      
   Retail crime has also been rising across the state. California Democrats   
   are hoping to keep progressive policies when it comes to organized theft   
   from businesses while also seeking to combat the issue throughout the   
   state.
