The Los Angeles Police Department has responded to rising incidents of “follow-home” robberies by telling residents to “cooperate and comply” with robbers.

“Due to an increase in violent street robberies, Robbery-Homicide Division has become aware of an ongoing crime trend of follow-home robberies. Suspects have been locating victims in Los Angeles, following them, and then committing the robberies as the victim arrives home or at their business,” the alert read.

“The target of these robberies has been expensive jewelry, including watches and necklaces, as well as purses,” it added. “Victims have also been targeted based on the type of vehicle they are driving.”The alert went on to say that victims have been followed home from places that include Melrose Avenue, the city’s Jewelry District, nightclubs, and high-end restaurants. It then said that if you are being robbed, “do not resist the robbery suspects; cooperate and comply with their demands. Be a good witness.”“Cooperate with that person,” Chief Michael Moore told ABC7. “There’s nothing on your person that’s worth your life.”

“We are sharing this community alert in an effort to increase awareness of a series of robberies occurring in the City of Los Angeles,” the LAPD said in defending this alert.

LAPD crime statistics state that from the time period between August 29 to September 25 to the time period between September 26 to October 23, robberies went up 12.4 percent. Other advice that the LAPD gave residents include:

Be aware of your surroundings, ensuring there’s nothing unusual before getting out of your car or leaving a restaurant, stores, malls, or clubs.
When in public, be cautious of displaying purses, jewelry, watches, and other luxury items.
All suspicious activity should be recorded and reported to police. When possible, write down the descriptions of any suspicious person and/or vehicle.
If you think you’re being followed while driving, call 911 and try to drive to the closest police station.

For people who do become victims of robberies, the LAPD also instructs them to:

Immediately dial 911. Write down what you can remember about the crime, including descriptions of the suspect(s) and their vehicle(s).
Don’t follow or chase the assailant(s) after a robbery.

The fact that robberies are spiking in Los Angeles should come as a surprise to nobody, as crime is currently spiking all over the country, particularly in cities and states that Democrats run. This is what happens when police are defunded and shamed in the way that the left has been targeting them over the past year.

Go figure.
