Three freshmen on UCLA’s men’s basketball team, including LiAngelo Ball, the younger brother of Laker guard and former UCLA guard Lonzo Ball, were arrested on suspicion of shoplifting in China on Tuesday, according to reports from ESPN.

Forward Cody Riley from Sierra Canyon High and forward Jalen Hill from Corona Centennial High were also arrested for allegedly stealing from a Louis Vuitton store located next to the team’s hotel in Hangzhou, China, according to the report.

Chinese police were called to the Hyatt Regency Hangzhou, where UCLA and Georgia Tech were staying before their season-opening game in Shanghai this weekend, to investigate on Tuesday morning, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“We are aware of a situation involving UCLA student-athletes in Hangzhou, China,” UCLA said in a statement. “The University is cooperating fully with local authorities on this matter, and we have no further comment at this time.”

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, local police searched the UCLA team bus’ cargo compartment and questioned three Georgia Tech players, who were later cleared, according to a statement released by Georgia Tech. UCLA players who were waiting to go to practice on the bus had to leave after a delay and return to the hotel.

The teams are scheduled to open their seasons Saturday in Shanghai with a game that will be televised live on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. PT Friday. It is the third year that a Pac-12 team has opened its season in China.

“We are very disappointed by any situation that detracts from the positive student-athlete educational and cultural experience that this week is about,” Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement. “Whether in the United States or abroad, we expect our student-athletes to uphold the highest standards. We will continue to closely monitor the situation.”

LiAngelo Ball, Riley and Hill make up nearly half of UCLA’s highly touted freshman class that was ranked within the top five in the country. The large freshman class and veterans such as Prince Ali and Alex Olesinski who are returning from injury were expected to give Coach Steve Alford one of the deepest and most athletic teams since he arrived at UCLA in 2013.

Ball, a 6-foot-5 guard from Chino Hills, was not expected to have the same impact as his brother, who transformed the Bruins into a Sweet 16 team just one year after missing the NCAA Tournament all together, but can provide a valuable shooting threat after the team graduated Bryce Alford, UCLA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.

Riley was a three-year Daily News first-team All-Area selection out of Sierra Canyon High. He was Scout.com’s No. 1 power forward in California for his recruiting class.

Hill’s status for the season opener was already in doubt as the forward from Corona Centennial was dealing with a sore knee last week that kept him out of UCLA’s exhibition game. Alford said before the team left for China that he was hopeful that Hill would be healthy enough to play.
