LBPD Blotter – Oct. 28, 2022

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 a traffic fatality in the area of PCH and Channel Drive. Last night, at approximately 6:22 p.m., officers responded to Pacific Coast Highway, south of Channel Drive regarding an injury traffic collision, which later resulted in the death of a male adult pedestrian. More information will be available later today in a news release, posted on our website. 

• Officers investigate a robbery in the 2300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Last night, at approximately 7:21 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2300 block of Martin Luther King Jr regarding a robbery report. Through their investigation, officers learned a male adult suspect stabbed a male adult victim in the lower body with an unknown tool and then stole the victim's personal property. The victim sustained a non-life-threatening injury and declined medical treatment. The suspect ran away before officers arrived. The investigation is ongoing. 

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