When the police searched a house in the highlands as part of a recent burglary investigation, they did not seek heaps of money or bags full of jewelry, but boxes of what has become the essential article of the year.
In each of the 14 boxes from the house, said the Chino police, these customizable little monsters were taking control of America – Labu.
According to an article on social networks on Monday, Chino police recovered a value of $ 30,000 from the fur figurines, which generally cost around $ 30, in a house as part of a survey of a series of flights from a local warehouse.
The figurines are generally sold in Pop Mart stores and create a fervor whenever new supplies are released. A children’s size labu sold at auction for $ 150,000, depending on media reports, and limited edition monsters can cost $ 150.
When the police searched the house, they found an operation to resell and ship the figurines across the country, officials said. A person inside the house tried to run away but finally surrendered. The Labubus were then returned to their legitimate owner.
With their weapon popularity, Labu burglaries are not unknown in Southland.
Last week, thieves stole a company from the Puente which announced its stock of Labu figurines online. One Stop Sales said the thieves have burst into their shop and stole several boxes of goods, including Labu monsters. Later, the owners announced that some of their goods had been recovered by the Sheriff Department of the County of Los Angeles.
Labubu, fur figurines sold exclusively to Chinese pop mart, are often sold in timed online events, then customers can resume in the windows of the United States
