Twenty-year-old Brooks Hall, 19-year-old Clarence Steele Jr., and 19-year-old Gerald Young were taken into custody during a search and arrest warrant operation conducted on July 31 and booked on multiple charges of residential burglary, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. Hall was also booked for illegal possession of a high capacity magazine.
The men were arrested after a nine-month investigation into a string of burglaries occurring in the Antelope Valley, the San Fernando Valley, and Ventura County.
“Cash, jewelry and personal valuables worth nearly[half a] million dollars were stolen from over 25 homes. The suspects often utilized rental cars and vehicles with ‘paper license plates,'” the news release states.
“Several search and arrest warrants were served at three locations in the Antelope Valley on Friday morning, July 31… During this search operation, detectives arrested five adult suspects and recovered three illegally possessed firearms, one of which was equipped with a thirty round magazine,” the sheriff’s news release states.
Hall, Young and Steele remain in custody pending a September court date in connection with the burglaries. The two other suspects were not believed to be involved in the burglary spree, but were arrested for being felons in possession of firearms, according to the news release.
Investigators believe there might be more victims and are encouraging anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s department’s Major Crimes Bureau at brtf@lasd.org.

Traditionally, there has only been 2 types of criminal personalities willing to challenge occupied and often fortified positions. Those with the blind confidence to neutralize anything that waits in there and the fatal cavalier that’s unconcerned if they live or die.

… you see, it’s really all our fault. Because it’s now politically incorrect to apply social pressure, on certain deviant, socially irresponsible, counter-cultural cohorts, now everything’s all our fault. The world according to the black community? That it’s all because of us, on account of slavery, they commit violent crime? They can’t really be held accountable. Can they? –
Mike says
Have you actually sat down and talked to anyone in the black community? So according to you all blacks commit violent crimes? You racist folks are disgusting. Stop painting everyone with a broad brush. I’m black and I’m glad they got caught. I hope they get the punishment they deserve. I haven’t committed any crimes because of slavery. What the hell are you talking about? Stop getting everything pertaining to blacks twisted.

The first guy says, “this is a bad dream.” The second guy says, “I’m to pretty to go to prison.” The third guy says, “I got this.”

Even if convicted they will be out in a year and probably won’t serve any time at all since corona is here, it’s the leftist California way
Mike says
If you don’t like leftist California, then move. Alabama would be a good fit for you. That state is far from lefist. Disclosure…….the state does accept subsidzies (welfare) from states like lefist Cali.

I hope everyone recovers their belongings. Trash always go try to steal what they want but refuse to get a job and work for.
Three less pieces of trash on the street now, thankfully.
Mothers of the Innocent says
These young fine men are innocent. Why is everyone saying they are guilty already and they have not yet been to trial? Nine time out of ten they were only arrested because they were people of color and the cops are blaming them for media attention. This is just plain wrong.
Yeah Right says
I’m sure the cops randomly selected these tree fine young gentlemen from Palmdale to frame for robberies in Ventura and LA Counties.
Reality_Check says
Wow! …You did such an awesome job! (<<>>) Pathetic! …It’s because of people like you that we get stuck with stupid politicians like Donald Trump….all because you chose to have kids you couldn’t control and who make everyone’s life hell and cause resentment.
The US would be like Sweden or Switzerland if it weren’t the 9hetto element here.
Thanks, a lot !
The truth says
Lol fine young men? One of them has multiple charges all the way back to early teens including armed robbery …

No one believes you. Better call BLM. Maybe you can get a new flat screen at the next looting.

Enjoy life in the slammer, idiots.
Kay says
Probably not really burglaries just like they are “peaceful” protests.
workaholics says
BLM!
Ya’ll Pathetic says
y’all are annoying af saying BLM or other stuff about that whenever something like this happens. And the worst part is that it’s full grown people acting like little kids, sad sad sad
Mike says
News flash…..the AV is loaded with racist that think they are superior to people of color. The joke’s on them. When my more affluent friends found out I was moving to the AV, they were horrified. They tried to discourage my. One consistant arguement they had was the AV was low class with a lot of white trash. Frankly, I like the AV. I do get tired of all the racism and it does have it’s share of pwt. Other than that it’s cool.
Fed up with BLM says
Hey , news flash ,
The AV is loaded with racists black white and brown , idiot.
Your completely clueless and a dumbass if you think that just white people are racists.
There are “people of trash” in all colors. Get a life !!

They were arrested??!! Does that mean I need to board up my business here in Palmdale?
Sunil says
No one on this planet do BLM regulars detest more, than small business owners. There is nothing ANTIFA Eco-fascists love more, than burning small business into bankruptcy –
