LOS ANGELES -- A Long Beach police officer who allegedly stole four guns that were to be booked as property had his preliminary hearing postponed Monday.
Damian Ramos, 32, has pleaded not guilty to four counts each of grand theft of personal property, grand theft of a firearm and embezzlement by a police officer, along with one count of possession of an assault weapon.
The charge involves four guns not booked into evidence after a call to a scrap yard to pick up 11 firearms, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Alfred Coletta said.
One of the four firearms was recovered, but the other three have not been found, according to the prosecutor.
Ramos is due back at the downtown Los Angeles courthouse on Sept. 15 for a preliminary hearing, which is used to determine whether there is enough evidence to hold a trial.
