Suspects posing as police officers robbed victim at Koreatown apartment complex

[@skypop1344]

They knew very well what was inside this specific apartment lol

[@JohnnySin-cp7fz]

Inside job along with on-site guards! Fact!

Don’t need to open a door to any law enforcement if they don’t have a search warrant or call 911 to verify if they are real cop.

This was obviously an inside job. Gets in to a well guarded apt and had the fire knowledge of what was in the apt. Dressed as police officers. This was a someone on the inside type of job or someone close type of job. So the suspect shouldn’t be far from the family in some way. Dressing as a cop isn’t a new thing either. Pizza man ups etc happens a lot and has been for decades.

Either someone posted their lifestyles along with a glimpse of the valuables on-line or a close associate assisted in singling out the owner of these valuables.
