Blotter items from Redondo Beach

Here's a couple of items from the Redondo Beach Police Department's list of Recent Law Enforcement Events:

6-16-08 (Wednesday):
At approximately 11:30 p.m., three people were walking in the 2400 block of Vanderbilt Lane when they were approached by two occupants of a dark-colored SUV. While the driver remained in the vehicle the other two subjects demanded money, phones, and property from the victims as one of the subjects placed a makeshift knife to the throat of one, and the other subject punched one of the victims several times in the head. After acquiring property from the victims the subjects fled the area. A short time later three subjects committed a similar type of crime in the city of Hermosa Beach and were subsequently arrested after a short pursuit.

6-20-08 (Friday):
At 10:22 p.m., officers responded to the reports of a loud party in the 1800 block of Pullman. Officers arrived and located a residence where a party was taking place with well over 100 guests. While conducting their investigation one of the officers observed a fight taking place just inside the living room. The officers saw one of the subjects in the fight fall to the ground and begin to get kicked in the head. As the officers entered the residence to intervene one of the officers was attacked by the same person who was kicking the person on the ground. The officers sustained minor injuries taking the subject into custody. He was subsequently booked at the Redondo Beach Jail.
