Burglars made off with close to $500,000 in bags, clothes and other personal items from rapper Lucki’s West Hollywood home after he returned late Tuesday night to find the place ransacked, according to investigators. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says detectives are now scouring the neighborhood for surveillance footage and any leads that might point to the crew behind the break-in.
Investigators' account
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told NBC4 Investigates that Lucki, whose legal name is Lucki Camel Jr., came back to his West Hollywood residence at about 10:30 p.m. and discovered the burglary. Deputies say thieves took nearly $500,000 worth of property, including designer bags, clothing and other personal effects. Detectives plan to pull footage from doorbell cameras and other neighborhood video systems to track the suspects, as reported by NBC Los Angeles.
How neighbors can help
No arrests have been made, and investigators are leaning hard on tips from the public. Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Hollywood Station at (310) 855-8850. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the West Hollywood Station is located at 780 N. San Vicente Blvd, and deputies are urging residents to review and share any exterior camera footage and to submit tips through the station or TipLA.
Context: Organized burglary prosecutions
Authorities have recently been targeting organized burglary crews that hit high-end homes across Los Angeles County. In May, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced that seven people were charged in a series of residential burglaries that allegedly focused on jewelry, handbags and other high-value items, highlighting a broader push to dismantle crews accused of working upscale neighborhoods, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Victim details and next steps
Lucki, who records and performs under the mononym LUCKI, was not reported injured in the incident, and the case remains an active LASD investigation. Detectives continue to ask anyone with video or information to contact the West Hollywood Station so investigators can track down potential leads.
