The infamous Bentley Driving Theives that have been hitting all the surf spots arrested.

Detectives have discovered evidence that there are more victims than previously reported and thus are requesting any information on additional victims, including outside of the City of Los Angeles.

This crew was targeting cars at surf spots, as well as burglarizing homes in the area. At the surf spots, they located hidden key fobs and used key fob amplifiers to open vehicles and remove victims' property. They used sophisticated methods to unlock and access victims' phones. Then used victims' info to make purchases at luxury stores and to send money to additonal suspects through money transfer service applications.

If you have any information regarding these suspects, or any information on additional victims, please contact West Los Angeles Autos Detective Hernandez at 323-369-3156 or email at 39277@lapd.online

Below is the original Heads Up story we posted about these guys:



According to witnesses, the group consist of up to 3 males. They also broken into at least one known vehicle at Sunset Point on Saturday, Mason Brown's Surf Report gave an update about that with some photos:

"Surveillance video of the robbers who broke into Guy's car yesterday!



They eventually pulled into the lot right next to Guy's car and broke in (possibly using a fob scanner). Guy saw them just as they were finishing and they peeled out."



Their worst crime... those shorts!!!



Keep an eye out for them!

UPDATE: apparently, this video is from today... they came back to steal again. Hopefully they were unsuccessful! But Guy confirms that those are the culprits!"


As soon as we posted Mason's info to our Instagram Stories on Sunday afternoon, we recieved many messages about the same group:









Mo In The Morning posted a heads up about these guys aand recieved numerious comments about them:

City News Service reports, "Three suspects were in custody Tuesday following an early morning burglary spree in which at least six businesses were robbed in the Marina del Rey and Venice areas. Pacific Division officers from the Los Angeles Police Department officers were called at 1:20 a.m. to reports of a smashed window at the Ulta Beauty at 13455 Maxella Ave.



A good Samaritan told reporters he saw the break-in in progress at the Ulta store and approached the building, then caught one of the suspects trying to exit through a broken window. The man said he held the suspect until police arrived.



Multiple businesses were targeted in the area, including several at a shopping center in the 4200 block of South Lincoln Boulevard."

The Centinela Cafe, located about two miles away at 4800 Centinela Avenue in Del Rey, was also the victim of a burglary early Tuesday morning.

The business that were hit located in the Marina Center shopping plaza on Lincoln Boulevard include L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, Nick the Greek, Juice Crafters and Starbucks.

Authorities do not believe the Marina Del Rey burglaries are connected with the Venice burglary, but they do believe that they may be connected to the Ulta Beauty and Centinela Cafe burglaries.

A boat towing a barge with huge statue of a man has been cruising up and down the shore line this weekend.

The statue, at least 33 feet tall, was facing the shore with its hands held out, palms upward, is of Grammy-winning rapper Kid Cudi who is doing this to promote his new album INSANO.



The barge parks in Alamitos Bay, and the past 3 days has been sailing up the coast and back.



U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) effort to remove about a hundred Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of sediment from Marina del Rey’s harbor.

The five-month maintenance dredging effort will remove 400,000 to 500,000 cubic yards of sediment accumulated at the Marina’s entrance and along the harbor’s north jetty, where shoaling has greatly reduced navigation for boaters and first responders. The dredging operation by the Sea Horse with its clamshell bucket will begin along the north jetty following equipment inspections.

As the Sea Horse dredges, the sediment will be loaded onto a dump scow, the Robert L, and deposited in the Pacific Ocean nearshore of Dockweiler State Beach, just north of Imperial Highway in Playa del Rey. The Robert L is expected to make approximately four to five trips per day.

The equipment and 24-hour dredging work may make certain portions of the harbor entrance impassible for periods of time. For this reason, boaters with accessibility questions or concerns are encouraged to contact Harbormaster Sgt. Ron Nohles at 310-482-6000 (Office); 323-893-6803 (Cell)

Dredging is the routine removal of accumulated underwater sediment from channel beds to maintain the appropriate depths of navigation channels, harbors, marinas, boat launches and port facilities. It’s usually conducted by heavy machinery that scoops sediment from an area onto a barge, which transports the sediment elsewhere.

The dredging project budgeted at $7.18 million will be funded through Federal Budget appropriations. The project will ensure safe navigation of the harbor entrance for the U.S. Coast Guard and other first responders, as well as for the roughly 4,300 recreational vessels docked in the Marina.

About 400,000 to 500,000 cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from the harbor entrance. Once removed, the dredged sand will be transported by a scow—a large flat-bottomed vessel—and dropped through an opening at the bottom of the vessel into water about 15 to 30 feet deep nearshore Dockweiler State Beach. The sand deposits will be made twice a day and take about a half hour to complete and are expected to provide renourishment for the beach.

The dredging project will be a 24/7 operation. The Department of Beaches and Harbors will work with the dredging contractor to mitigate noise. It is not anticipated that the dredging will take place close enough to residences such that it would result in nighttime noise disturbance. Dredging at Marina del Rey is expected to begin on January 1, 2024 and should be complete by May 2024.

Upon completion of the project, it is anticipated that the depth of the harbor entrance will be 20 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), or a depth of 20 feet during low tide.

All dredging is monitored to assure that there is minimal impact to the foraging and nesting periods of the California Least Tern, as well as all other sensitive or endangered species.

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) effort to remove about a hundred Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of sediment from Marina del Rey’s harbor (MdR) is slated to begin on Friday, December 29th with the arrival of the Sea Horse dredge vessel, the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors announced today.
