3 Arrested In Stolen Vehicle During Routine Traffic Stop

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA – Manhattan Beach police arrested three suspects who, during a license-plate check, were found to be riding in an allegedly stolen vehicle Tuesday morning, police said. A patrol officer spotted a vehicle leaving a neighborhood near Duncan Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard at about 3 a.m., according to a social media post by the department.

An alert from the plate check came back saying that the vehicle, a Honda CRV, had been reported stolen in Long Beach, which led to a routine traffic stop.

All three suspects surrendered without incident, Sgt. Tim Zins said.

“When they started going through the car, they found stolen property from different crimes throughout different cities,” Zins told Daily Breeze.

Manhattan Beach police are working with other departments to try to return the stolen property to its owners, Zins said.
