Three Detained in San Pedro After Lengthy Standoff Comes To An End

Story and photo by Chris Villanueva

It all started with a vehicle pursuit, in the early morning, June 8, that entered San Pedro. The suspects, who were wanted for burglary and assault on a police officer, ditched their vehicle at Holy Trinity church. The suspects continued to flee on foot and were spotted near 3rd and Bandini streets.

The suspects continued to flee, additional resources were called in to set up a perimeter. After some investigation, it was discovered the suspects had been staying at the Best Western Hotel on 1st and Gaffey streets

The Sheriff’s department immediately locked down the area from 2nd street, and to Santa Cruz and Gaffey, completely slowing down the early morning commute.

After several hours an LASD SWAT Team was able to take three suspects into custody without further incident.

It is not confirmed that all three who were detained were suspects. The Sheriff’s units have since broken down the perimeter and all the units are clearing the area.

Random Lengths News will provide any further updates as they become available.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lomita Station at 310-539-1661 or anonymously at 800-222-8477 or http://lacrimestoppers.org
