On 08/03/12, a LASD Deputy assigned to the West Hollywood Station conducted a traffic stop on a Black Chevrolet Impala which was traveling through the city. During the traffic stop, the Deputy contacted and detained the suspects. He then identified property in the suspect's vehicle that was obtained during recent vehicle burglaries in LAPD's area.

The West Hollywood Deputy contacted LAPD officers, who responded and indicated that they had approximately six vehicle burglaries in the area of Hawthorn Avenue and Orange Drive, earlier that evening. LAPD Hollywood Officers then took custody of the suspects and the stolen property.

There has been an increase in vehicle burglaries in and around the City of West Hollywood in the weeks leading up to this arrest. These suspects are being investigated as persons of interest in those crimes.

Crime Stoppers uses a three part approach to solving crimes. The first part of the program is to empower the community by providing a safe way to report criminal activity. Secondly, Crime Stoppers partners with all forms of media in the Los Angeles region to inform the community on how to anonymously report crimes. Law Enforcement is the final part of the triangle; they follow-up on tips from community members.

Anyone with information about an incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department West Hollywood Station at (310) 855-8850. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.com.
