From Instagram post: Los Angeles County East Los Angeles Station detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying an additional sixteen suspects who made forced entry into a business located at the 1130 block of South Atlantic Boulevard, in the unincorporated area of East Los Angeles “DBA AutoZone.”

On Sunday, August 9, 2026, at approximately 3:30 a.m., the above suspects made unlawful entry into the business and were involved in a coordinated, mob-like burglary of the store, resulting in significant loss and damage to the business. Investigators believe the suspects may have also participated in the previous day’s burglary at the same location which occurred during a street takeover.

The above photos were taken from footage recovered from the business. Anyone with information about the incident or can identify the suspect(s) is encouraged to contact East Los Angeles Detective Luu or the on-duty Watch Commander at (323) 264-4151.
