Woman Attacked by 2 Men in Hotel Room
Police were looking for two young men Tuesday in connection with an attempted robbery of a woman in her room at the Pierpont Hotel.
The two men confronted Helen Irlen of Long Beach shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. They choked her and knocked her to the floor of the room, but then ran out when a friend of Irlen’s walked in, Ventura police said.
Irlen, whose age wasn’t available, was treated for neck pain at Ventura County Medical Center and released.
The suspects were described as about 18 years old. One was a Latino about 5 feet, 8 inches, 190 pounds, with short brown hair, and the other white, about 5 feet, 6 inches, 155 pounds with brown crew-cut hair.
