Attempted Kidnapping Alert

Friday, 05 March 2010 22:14 administrator

There was an attempted kidnapping of a 9 year old girl and an eleven year old boy last week on Friday 02/26/10 at 7:30am in Redondo Beach. The vehicle is described as an old maroon car (or station wagon) with tinted windows where the tinting is bubbling. The paint on the vehicle was so old that it had white spots where paint begins to oxidize. The passenger side door had what looked like a thin strip of wood down the middle of the vehicle (like a door molding).

The man was white 45 to 55 with shoulder length brown and grey stringy hair. He was wearing aviator style black framed sun glasses and had facial hair from not shaving.

Please let everyone you know in the surrounding beach communities to keep their eyes open for this person and vehicle. If you see a vehicle and person matching this description please get the plate number and call 911. If you have any information please contact the Redondo Beach police department detective Jordon 310.379.2477 ext 2308

Talk to your children. Tell them what to do if someone asks them for a ride.

The eleven year old boy saved his sisters life and knew exactly what to do - he screamed and ran - his sister froze - he went back and grabbed his sister and pulled her away from the vehicle and ran.

Beat Walk Hermosa

Monday, 11 January 2010 07:16 administrator

Welcome to our newest feature called "Beat Walk Hermosa". Our contributors will roam the streets of Hermosa Beach and report back with news and impressions.

On our first tour today afternoon between 5 pm and 6 pm our team walked down on Pier ave. from PCH to the pier and back. It was a warm and sunny day. The temperature was approx 75 deg. F.
On the lower part of Pier ave. a very artistic looking wall mural/graffiti was being painted inside the Coastal Connection skate shop. At the Pier/Strand several emergency vehicles were parked and first responders were tending to an injured person. The details of the injury are unknown to us but bystanders were heard talking about a person falling of the pier. While continuing on to the Pier the waves seemed very high and while reaching the end of the Pier a police officer in a car drove up the pier to announce that the Pier will be closed for the day. Time of this announcement was approx 5.30 pm. Regular pier closing time is 10 pm !?. Reasons were not mentioned. Heading back on Pier ave. the Blockbuster store on upper Pier ave. had just closed but this time for good. This was the last day of operations before going out of business. The wide selection of movies and the great service will be missed. The Vons grocery shop next to Blockbuster was very busy though. And this concludes our premier "Beat Walk Hermosa".
