At around 11 p.m. on Thursday night, three Hispanic females stole food from the Pizza Hut on Lincoln and fled to a home on Sunset Ave. LAPD was called, and less than an hour later three males entered the same Pizza Hut and beat up the worker inside and stole several pizzas, fleeing on foot. LAPD was on scene almost immediately and a foot pursuit ensued, following the suspects to an apartment building on Flower. An airship was called, a perimeter was set up and two suspects were in custody a short time later. Feeling confident the third suspect would be discovered from the two already in custody, LAPD called off the airship and K9 units. A foot search is on for the third suspect.
While the fact that they stole several pizzas sounds a bit ridiculous - beating someone up in the process of stealing any property is a felony. The pizzas could have been a purse, wallet, cell phone, stuffed animal - it does not matter. A forceful brutal attack for any property is a felony crime for all involved. Hefty price to pay for a few pizza pies… and a sad profile that similar crimes could happen in the same location inside of an hour of one another.
More to come on this soon…
Thanks for the right information. I live near where this took place. I tried to find out what had happened by searching local forums and came across one that was very miss leading. Various people on this site spotting off with crazy miss leading information. They sounded like a bunch of drunks sitting on bar stools with the moderator as the bar tender. Who claimed to have a pipeline to the cops. It was more like he had a pipe full of crack. One of the seasoned posters was very condescending and wise cracking. It was hard to take anything he posted with any value. His avatar was that on a known sex offender. What a joke. I feel better now that I have the right information.
