Long Beach, Los Angeles Police Team Up to Arrest Armed Robbery Suspect
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) recently teamed up with the police force in Long Beach to track down and arrest a man the LAPD suspects of armed robbery, according to a recent article in The Long Beach Press-Telegram.
LAPD South Bureau’s Specialized Investigative Unit closed Pacific Street between 21st and Hill in order to serve an arrest warrant on a Long Beach resident. The LAPD team arrested the man and searched his home for evidence that might link him to a recent Los Angeles robbery, while the Long Beach police evacuated area homes and businesses. The block stayed closed for several hours until the LAPD located and arrested the man they suspected of robbery. The man cooperated with police.
The shutdown was the LAPD’s second attempt to work with the Long Beach police in order to find a suspect. The LAPD also arrested a 19-year-old man at a motel near the intersection of Seventh Street, Pacific Coast Highway, and Bellflower Boulevard, who police labeled a suspect in a different Los Angeles robbery.
Police departments that cooperate with one another may have more success at finding and arresting those suspected of violent crimes in Los Angeles. However, communication between departments may also result in mistakes, which can lead to errors in the arrest or investigation or even violations of a suspected person’s constitutional rights.
