United States Postal Service suspended services in Santa Monica because one suspect accused of assaulting and threatening carriers 'has not been located or apprehended'


The United States Postal Service has suspended services in one neighborhood in Santa Monica, California, because of repeated attacks on mail carriers since January, according to a report.

The first incident happened on Jan. 19 when a resident living near the intersection of 14th Street and Arizona Avenue allegedly swung a broomstick at one carrier delivering mail in the early evening hours, CBS News reported. The carrier reportedly was not injured in the attack.

Months later, residents recently received notices from the USPS informing them that delivery service has been hereby suspended to all addresses located in the 1300 block of 14th Street.

Which, beyond the basics of crime, was a violation of unspoken rules you didn't **** around with Plumber or the Telephone Guy

Back in the 80s and 90s when I was doing line work, there was a neighborhood like that between Benning Road and E. Capitol St. along the Anacostia. The locals enjoyed any opportunity to pilfer copper or tools from any unattended line trucks.

Another favorite location was along West Virginia Avenue past Gallaudet. One day, while we were breaking for lunch, a slew of Black SUVs and vans pulled into the neighbor hood from all directions and a dozen plus DEA officers jumped out with rifles to kick in the doors for three houses across the street from where we were working.

17 L.A. gangs have sent out crews to follow and rob city's wealthiest, LAPD says​

More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city's wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to police.

In many cases, they're making off with designer handbags, diamond-studded watches and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars — if not more — and then peddling them to black-market buyers who are willing to turn a blind eye to the underlying violence, police said.

In some cases, suspects have been arrested but then released from custody, according to police, only to commit additional robberies.

Those are among the conclusions of a Los Angeles Police Department task force convened at the end of last year to identify the cause of a sudden surge in "follow-home," or "follow-off," robberies, so called because victims are robbed soon after leaving luxury boutiques and hotels, ritzy restaurants, trendy nightclubs and other locations where the gangs are scouting for targets.
