He also criticized the use of surveillance cameras to combat crime, referencing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in his social media post.
“Will update more soon. Let’s hope all these flock cameras that (Karen Bass), (Gavin Newsom) and everyone thinks will stop crime can find these very dangerous criminals. God bless,” Allen wrote.
Bass’ office shared a statement with Fox News Digital, calling the incident “egregious” and noting that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is leading the investigation.
“This is egregious — no one should have to experience something like this. West Hollywood is an independent city, and the LA County Sheriff’s Department is responsible for leading this investigation. LAPD, as always, will assist regional partners as needed to ensure bad actors are held accountable,”the statement read.
