Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield introduced a motion on Friday, Aug. 25, seeking to establish a police substation at Westfield Topanga Shopping Center, prompted by a spike in organized retail thefts across the Southland.
The motion would instruct the LAPD, with assistance from the city administrative office and chief legislative analyst, to report back on the feasibility of creating a substation at the Westfield Topanga Shopping Center. The councilman also notes residents in the West San Fernando Valley have been asking for a police substation at the shopping center, which is the second most-visited mall in Southern California, for several years.
On Aug. 13, an organized theft ring of about 30 to 50 individuals stormed the Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga Shopping Center and stole $300,000 worth of merchandise, as reported by the LAPD.
