Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• No shootings nor stabbings were reported.

• Update 5:00 p.m. -  Officers stop reckless driving in progress, recover fireworks: On July 5, 2023, at approximately 8:49 p.m., west division officers were patrolling the area of Pacific Coast Highway and Golden Avenue when they observed a vehicle driving recklessly by doing donuts and burnouts in the intersection. Officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and the occupants attempted to flee on foot, but were successfully detained. Officers discovered the vehicle contained over eighty mortar-type fireworks. The driver was cited for vandalism, reckless driving, and possession of illegal fireworks. Excellent work!!
