History of Redondo Beach last week Part I
Here's stuff from the Redondo Beach Recent Law Enforcement Events report as prepared by Capt. Jeff Hink:
- On August 2, 2008, Redondo Beach Police Officer's were dispatched to a traffic collision at the intersection of Harriman Lane and Rindge Lane . During the course of the investigation it was discovered that one of the drivers involved in the collision possessed stolen items in his vehicle that were taken during previous vehicle burglaries in Redondo Beach. The suspect was arrested for possession of stolen property and gave consent to search his residence. The subsequent search led to the discovery of additional items that are believed to be stolen.
- On August 6, 2008 a plainclothes Manhattan Beach Police Department detective was in the 2500 block of Artesia Boulevard when he observed a group of male individuals on the sidewalk. He saw one of the males assault one of the other males and grab his iPod from him. The detective broke up the fight, detained the "aggressor" and determined that the suspect had committed a strong-arm robbery when he took the iPod. Ultimately, the juvenile suspect was arrested for robbery and taken to RBPD for booking.
- On August 7, 2008 at about 1:00 p.m. a citizen responded to the front lobby of the Police Department with a large amount of U.S. currency that had been found in north Redondo Beach. The citizen provided the money to the Police Department as "found property."
- On August 7, 2008 at 2:12 p.m. a City of Redondo Beach Public Works Department employee parked his City vehicle on Inglewood Av. at Carnegie Ln. The worker left the keys to the vehicle on the floorboard of the parked vehicle. The worker then met up with co-workers at Inglewood and Rockefeller Ln. When he returned to the original location where he parked his vehicle approximately 10 minutes later, he saw that the truck had been stolen. The missing vehicle was located and recovered in the 900 block of Palm Lane at about 9:00 a.m.on August 8, 2008.
