A 23-year-old man pleaded guilty Wednesday to an armed robbery spree in Los Angeles and Orange counties.<\/p>\n
Oshae Pollard of Los Angeles pleaded guilty to single counts each of interference with commerce by robbery and possessing and using a weapon to commit a violent crime. Pollard is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 21 and will face at least 10 years in federal prison, according to federal prosecutors.<\/p>\n
The crime spree started Aug. 25, 2024, in the parking lot of the Hustler Casino in Gardena, according to his plea agreement. The gun-wielding robber took $1,000 from a victim after pushing the woman to the ground and pulling on her purse, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
As Pollard shoved a gun in her mouth, he broke some of her teeth and threatened to kill her if she shouted for help, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
The next day he and an accomplice robbed a man of his wallet and cell phone at gunpoint while the victim was in his cab parked in a Winchell\u2019s Donut House parking lot in Carson, prosecutors said. The victim was also struck in the face, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
On the same day, Pollard and another robber took an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, a monogrammed Berluti wallet and Rolls Royce car keys, all worth about $44,000, from a victim in the parking lot of Fashion Island in Newport Beach, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
The two robbers also attempted to hold up another victim and fired a bullet into a man\u2019s car as he tried to race away, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
On Sept. 22, 2024, Pollard attempted to rob another victim of a Lamborghini Urus in a parking lot of South Coast Plaza, prosecutors said. Oshae shot the victim in a hand and thigh in the attempted carjacking, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
