The collectible toy market has reached a new level of criminal interest as four men executed a targeted heist on a California retailer, making off with thousands of dollars worth of Labubu dolls—the summer’s most coveted collectible item known for their distinctive toothy grins and oversized eyes.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a burglary report at One Stop Sales in La Puente at 1:29 a.m. on Wednesday, August 6, discovering what appeared to be a meticulously planned theft operation. The suspects had broken into the store using a stolen Toyota Tacoma, which was later recovered by law enforcement.
“Several boxes of Labubu dolls were stolen, valued at approximately seven thousand dollars,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed in an official statement to media outlets.
Security footage released by the store shows four individuals systematically entering the premises and removing multiple boxes of the highly coveted toys. The theft represents more than just monetary loss—it highlights the extreme lengths collectors and criminals will go to obtain these limited-release items.
