Freshman LiAngelo Ball and his two UCLA Bruins teammates will remain in China following their shoplifting arrest.
Three UCLA Bruins players, who were arrested for shoplifting in China Tuesday, will remain in Hangzhou for a week or two. There is now surveillance footage of the alleged incident, according to reports.
Freshmen players LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill will not be on the team’s flight back to Los Angeles following Saturday’s 63-60 win against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Shanghai.
The players could remain in China for a «week or two,» a source familiar with the incident told ESPN Saturday. There is now surveillance footage of LiAngelo Ball and his teammates allegedly stealing from luxury designer stores including Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. The players were required by authorities to remain at the hotel until legal proceedings end, ESPN reported.
The three players were questioned about allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton shop near the team’s Hangzhou hotel where the Bruins were stationed for a season-opener against the Yellow Jackets before they departed for Los Angeles Tuesday night.
Hangzhou police arrived last Tuesday at the Hyatt Regency hotel and questioned three players from the Bruins and the Yellow Jackets regarding the incident.
