UPDATE III: San Pedro standoff suspect is a suspect in lots more
The man who held police in a standoff on 30th Street in San Pedro is being linked to about a
dozen holdups of gas stations, markets and other businesses in San Pedro, Lomita and other cities. He's suspected in crimes in Torrance and Redondo Beach.
His name is Kevin Thomas Saint Pierre. He allegedly help up a business in the 2000 block of Palos Verdes Drive North in Lomita Tuesday morning. LAPD officers gave chase.
Apparently he wore a Rich Gannon No. 12 Raiders jersey in most of the crimes before switching to a UCLA jersey. I talked to LAPD and sheriff's detectives who have been hot on his trail. The full story will come out a bit later on dailybreeze.com and Wednesday's print edition.
We don't have a photo of him yet. Police plan to work with victims to identify him as a suspect in as many crimes as they can before they let you see his face. That's the SWAT team assembling outside Saint Pierre's apartment.
