  • Detectives say the trio moved with a larger group on pocket bikes that arrived in the area and began committing assaults and vandalism.
  • One suspect appears older, wore a hoodie with a Small Engine Cams logo, and rode a pocket bike with an extended rear exhaust; the others wore dark clothing with bright-marked helmets.
  • The Sheriff’s Department reports the rock-throwing endangered CHP officers and caused thousands of dollars in damage to law enforcement vehicles.
  • Investigators ask anyone with information to contact LASD Major Crimes Bureau at 562-946-7893 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, while separate cases from the June unrest have already led to charges.
