In the City of Angels, a sinister incident unfolded last month, leaving a prominent athlete shaken. Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace pitcher Walker Buehler fell prey to a brazen robbery outside a prestigious horse racing venue in Arcadia, a suburb of Los Angeles. The thieves, operating with calculated precision, snatched a valuable timepiece from Buehler’s wrist.
Fortunately, the 28-year-old baseball star was not physically harmed during the September 28th incident at Santa Anita Park. Authorities are currently investigating two similar cases, which they believe are linked to organized groups targeting high-end watches in crowded areas.
This alarming trend marks the second time this year that professional athletes in California have been victimized. Just a month prior, San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall was ambushed by a teenager while walking to his car in San Francisco’s upscale Union Square. The assailant targeted Pearsall’s Rolex watch and other luxurious accessories, sparking a violent struggle that resulted in both parties being shot. Miraculously, Pearsall survived the close-range attack, with the bullet passing through his chest without causing critical damage.
As the sports world grapples with these disturbing incidents, authorities are working tirelessly to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler is set to take the mound for Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, putting the unfortunate event behind him.
