Beverly Hills experienced two violent crimes on June 15, including an attempted carjacking in the 500 block of North Beverly Drive and a strong-arm robbery of an expensive watch at North Doheny Drive and Civic Center Drive. The crimes come at a time when overall crime remains down but have nonetheless raised concerns over their brazenness–especially following the midday armed robbery of another high-end watch from a patron at Il Pastaio.
“It’s very troubling to have a robbery and a carjacking on the same evening, no matter what the crime stats say,” Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) Acting Captain Max Subin told the Courier.
