The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is investigating an incident in which thieves stole about $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls, the agency said.

The plush monsters have become a hot commodity this summer, with some limited edition creatures reselling for upwards of $500.

A group of masked thieves stole approximately $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls from a shop near La Puente in Los Angeles earlier this week.
