logo-lacodistrictattorneyTen men and two women have been indicted for their alleged role in a residential burglary ring that encompassed Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura and Orange counties, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.

A total of four indictments naming the 12 defendants were unsealed Monday in Department 100 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. The defendants, all alleged members or associates of the East Coast Crips, pleaded not guilty to the charges. They are due back on Sept. 1 for a pretrial conference.

The indictments link the defendants to 37 residential burglaries and three attempted residential burglaries. In some cases, homeowners were present during the alleged burglaries, prosecutors said. The burglars are suspected of ransacking houses looking for jewelry, gold, money, and safes, prosecutors added.

The assigned prosecutor is Deputy District Attorney Mark Inaba of the Organized Crime Division.

All four cases include dozens of felony counts that include charges of conspiracy to commit residential burglary, burglary and attempted burglary.

 

Case BA443820 consists of 40 felony counts. Indicted are:

* Lamor Arnett aka Nucy Wacc (dob 8/12/82) of Los Angeles.

* Tavon Moore aka Young Wacc (dob 1/23/91) of Inglewood.

* Richard McKay aka Richie Rich (dob 7/20/91) of Gardena.

* Mark Hundley aka P.K. (dob 7/10/86) of Carson.

* Jerome Grigsby (dob 4/1/88) of Inglewood.

* Rayshaun Marshall aka Baby D. Rocc (dob 7/15/95) of Los Angeles.

 

Case BA443823 includes 39 felony counts. The defendants indicted are:

* Carlton Bruton aka Tiny Chill (dob 9/28/92) of Los Angeles.

* Talford Brown aka TC (dob 5/24/68) of Long Beach.

 

Case BA443824 has 39 felony counts. The defendants are:

* Andrew Lopez aka Migo aka Drew (dob 1/17/90) of Montebello.

* Ruben Alaniz (dob 6/6/91) of Montebello.

 

The case is being investigated by the Torrance Police Department in conjunction with law enforcement agencies in Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.

    The neighbor behind my house said in a personal message using NextDoor that she saw the people who burgled my house and that a blond woman who she assumed wrongly to be my daughter seemed “to know her way around”. Apparently they were partying on my back deck. The problem is that this neighbor no longer does NextDoor. I have the email conversation saved. I could tell from the robbery that a woman was involved because she tried on my clothes and left them if they did not fit.
