Energizer Battery Bunnies Busted

 10 vehicle batteries were stolen last week in Southeast Torrance.  Usually
the cables are also cut so the batteries and the cables have to be replaced.
 
This morning an alert Gardena resident observed the Energizer Bunnies
digging up a battery instead of carrots.  Gardena Police responded in record
time and caught the bunnies.

Batteries not included -- Early this morning, a young lady walked out to her porch to take a smoke break when she heard a car stop alongside her home. Two men got out and forced the hood open to her parked car. Knowing that she wasn’t scheduled for a free oil change, she immediately called 9-1-1. GPD responded in literally 90 seconds [we’re usually fast, but this was Flash Gordon fast], and arrived as the not-so-good samaritans took off in their car. In their trunk......34 car batteries. A 17-year-old with an already lengthy criminal history was transported to juvenile detention, and his adult accomplice stayed with us. We love when our community is alert! As of this writing, we’ve found 10 of the 34 people that will be very disappointed today. We will continue to look for the additional victims, please be patient. If you were the victim of a similar crime in the last 24 hours and have questions, you can call the detective bureau at (310) 217-9607 #gardena #gardenapd #nottheenergizerbunny
