Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department will begin posting information about recent police activity, ongoing investigations, and other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website.

At approximately 10:00 a.m. each day, community members will be able to read preliminary information about incidents that may have occurred the previous evening, including shootings, stabbings, traffic fatality, and murder investigations, as well as any other notable incidents. This page will be a resource for the public to learn more about enforcement efforts, arrests, and commendable events and will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Officers Investigate Carjacking with Shots Fired- Last night, at approximately 3:18 a.m., officers responded to the 1200 block of Locust Avenue regarding a report of a carjacking. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim who stated he was in a parking lot when he entered into a verbal dispute with several unknown suspects. As the victim was entering his vehicle, one male suspect and one female suspect approached him, produced a firearm, fired a shot towards the ground, and drove the victim’s vehicle from the scene prior to officers arrival. Officers located evidence, including casings, indicating a shooting had occurred. No injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing.

 

This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
