Local News in Brief : 2 Suspects Jailed in ‘Follow-Home’ Theft
Police arrested two suspects early Monday in a Beverly Hills “follow-home” robbery, the first arrests in a series of 32 robberies of luxury car drivers in affluent hillside neighborhoods of the Santa Monica Mountains.
The Beverly Hills robbery was similar to others reported since mid-October, police said.
Carluus Daily, 23, and Gina Morena, 20, both of South Los Angeles, were arrested by Beverly Hills police about midnight near Doheny Drive and Dayton Way.
They were booked on suspicion of robbery and were held at the Los Angeles County sheriff’s substation in West Hollywood. A spokesman said police will attempt to link them to the string of recent robberies in which bandits have made off with at least $312,000 in cash and jewels.
