The West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station reported three separate arrests this past week, all made hours apart late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, according to reports on the WeHo Sheriff’s social media platforms. The arrests range from attempted robbery, possession of narcotics and two suspects had loaded handguns during two separate traffic stops for expired registrations.
A police helicopter hovered over The Sunset Strip Tuesday night at roughly 10:30 pm, while WeHo Sheriff deputies searched for a suspect who fled after an attempted robbery. “Last night #WeHo Station Summer Team deputies were patrolling Sunset Boulevard,” reads the post. “When they were near the area of 8900 Sunset Blvd they encountered a possible robbery in progress incident. One male immediately ran from the deputies, the deputies chased the suspect and the suspect dropped a loaded gun. One male adult was arrested and one unregistered illegally loaded handgun was recovered after the chase.”
