BHPD Catches Suspects After Early Morning Chase

The Beverly Hills Police Department apprehended two suspects early Thursday after receiving a call about suspicious persons on the 400 block of North Palm Drive. 

The call came in at 1:15 a.m. When officers arrived on the scene, the suspects fled the location in a car, resulting in a short vehicle pursuit. The suspects abandoned their car on the 200 block of South Arnaz Drive and ran from pursing officers. 

The passenger was quickly captured and a perimeter was set up to apprehend the driver. A search was conducted in the area of Charleville Boulevard and South Arnaz Drive. At about 6 a.m. the second suspect was located by the BHPD K-9 team hiding in a backyard within the perimeter.

Beverly Hills police were assisted by an LAPD helicopter, LASD West Hollywood Deputies and UCLA police. 

If you have any information about this crime, or if you heard or observed anything suspicious that may be related to this incident, call Det. Sgt. Elisabeth Albanese at 310-285-2142.
