Week in Redondo Beach: Man threatens to cut off fingers, another bleeds his way across town
Here's some stuff from the Redondo Beach crime blotter:
Dec. 1:
100 block of Paseo De La Playa: Officers responded to the location regarding a disturbance. The suspect threatened to cut off his and his girlfriend's fingers. Officers arrived at the location and contacted the suspect's girlfriend outside. Officers eventually coaxed the suspect to exit the residence and he was arrested and transported to Harbor General Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
Dec. 3:
1615 South Pacific Coast Highway: officers responded to a report of a commercial burglary at a business. Unknown suspect(s) entered the business, a restaurant, via the roof, ransack the interior and steal cash and tools.
Dec. 7:
1200 block of Esplanade: Officers responded to the location regarding suspicious circumstances. The reporting party indicated that she had received a call from a male friend who was going to visit her. When the friend did not show up as expected, the reporting party went outside to the security entrance to see if he was there. In the parking structure, she saw a pool of blood next to her vehicle and her friend's cell phone on her car, but he was not present. Officers requested that Hermosa Beach Police Department officers check the friend's residence in Hermosa Beach. Although no one was home, the front door was open and there was additional blood in front of the residence. Further investigation revealed that the reporting party's friend was being treated for a broken wrist and a head laceration at a local hospital. Apparently, the friend tried to scale a fence at the reporting party's residential complex and fell which caused his injuries.
1815 Hawthorne Bl.: Galleria Mall security officers observed a strong arm robbery of a "Sidekick" cellular phone. The security officers notified a nearby police officer of the crime. The officer was able to stop a vehicle that the suspects had entered and four people were detained.
Two of the suspects were juveniles and were positively identified by witnesses and the victim as participating in the crime. The two suspects were arrested for attempted robbery as it was determined that the theft of the phone did not actually occur. The suspect couldn't remove the phone from the victim's hands. During the search of the suspects' vehicle, additional "Sidekick" phones were recovered, possibly belonging to additional unidentified victims.
