Los Angeles authorities are searching for a group of masked thieves who stole about $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls from a toy store in La Puente early Wednesday morning.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the suspects used a stolen Toyota Tacoma in the burglary, which was later recovered. The investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released.
Labubu dolls, created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, have become highly sought-after collectibles since their debut a decade ago. The quirky, toothy monster figurines have sparked a global craze, with fans lining up for hours to get their hands on limited editions.
Toy vendor One Stop Sales, the store targeted in the theft, said in an Instagram post that the burglars cleared out the entire inventory and left the shop in disarray. Surveillance footage shows several people in hoodies and face coverings breaking in, rummaging through items, and carrying boxes out of the store.
“We are still in shock,” the store posted, appealing to the public for help in identifying the culprits.
