Shoplifting Los Angeles

A Venice man was sentenced Monday to 25 years to life for stealing four cartons of cigarettes from a grocery store in Marina del Rey. Alan Lee Stark, 36, was tried and convicted under the "three strikes" law. Stark has been convicted of at least seven felonies since 1977, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Darren R. Levine. Stark's undoing was the $72 in cigarettes that he was convicted of stealing from an Alpha Beta store in December.

Los Angeles police officers are trying to cap what they say could become a growing problem in the San Fernando Valley: liquor store clerks buying scotch, vodka and tequila stolen from supermarkets. West Valley vice officers arrested two liquor store employees in Reseda on Wednesday after they allegedly bought premium booze for $5 a bottle from undercover officers posing as drug addicts. One of the employees even gave the officer orders for particular kinds of liquor, said Sgt.
