On June 24 at approximately 1 p.m., the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) was alerted via its Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system to a vehicle wanted in connection to a robbery reported earlier in the city of Huntington Park.
BHPD officers quickly located the vehicle within Beverly Hills city limits. When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle failed to yield, prompting a pursuit. The suspect vehicle eventually became disabled near the intersection of Beverly Drive and Rexford Drive. Four occupants then fled on foot.
Officers immediately apprehended three of the individuals a short distance away. A coordinated containment and search effort led to the successful location and arrest of the fourth suspect in a nearby residential yard shortly afterward.
There were no reported injuries during the incident. All four suspects are now in custody, and the case remains under investigation.
The Beverly Hills Police Department credits the effectiveness of its ALPR system, along with the rapid and professional response of its officers, for the safe and successful resolution of the incident.
“This incident is another clear example of how our police officers acted swiftly and decisively, supported by our civilian professional staff, to ensure the suspects were taken into custody without harm to the community,” said Chief Mark G. Stainbrook. “I am proud of our Department’s continued commitment to proactive policing and public safety.”
