CALIFORNIA—Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division are asking for the public’s assistance in finding witnesses to assist in a daytime robbery that occurred in Hancock Park. Detectives recovered surveillance video which captured the incident in detail.
On November 28, around 5:10 p.m., officers responded to a radio call about robbery suspects who targeted a woman and her infant child who were returning home from a walk. As they approached the steps leading to the front door of their home, suspect 1 and suspect 2 approached them and demanded she hand over property.
Fearing for her and her child’s safety, the victim complied and allowed Suspect-1 to take her diaper bags and bottle cooler. Both suspects proceeded to run into a waiting vehicle that was parked across the street from the victim’s home and fled northbound from the location.The suspect vehicle appears to be a silver sedan with tinted windows.
