- On May 14, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., Nathan Hochman, the District Attorney of Los Angeles County, held a news conference in Pico-Robertson to announce new measures aimed at addressing retail theft.
- The announcement followed a rise in retail crimes, including 12 recent incidents hitting one Pico-Robertson business, prompting calls for stronger enforcement.
- Hochman detailed a campaign involving coalitions with local law enforcement and distribution of bright yellow stickers warning of increased penalties under Proposition 36.
