In preparation for this operation, the HBPD collaborated with business stakeholders in the Bella Terra area, including Nordstrom Rack, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Costco Wholesale, REI, Kohl’s, Ulta Beauty, Old Navy, and Burlington. The ongoing partnership and collaboration with these businesses are critical in developing a comprehensive plan to enhance public safety.

The HBPD remains committed to fostering a safe and secure community. Operations like these highlight our dedication to protecting businesses and residents from the impact of retail theft.

Working in partnership with the Orange County District Attorney’s (OCDA) Organized Retail Theft Taskforce, DJM Property Management, and loss prevention staff, HBPD Detectives from the Special Investigations and General Investigation Units executed the enforcement operations that led to these significant arrests.

As a reminder, community policing involves partnerships between law enforcement and community members. Business owners and residents are encouraged to report criminal activity directly to law enforcement by calling the HBPD Dispatch at (714) 960-8825 or 911 if the matter is an emergency.
