CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / STUDIO CITY
Several gang members celebrating a “gang holiday” were arrested Thursday for alleged parole violations in a raid at a nightclub, authorities said.
At least 17 members of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips were taken into custody for alleged violations, including associating with other gang members, said Sgt. Dan Horan of the Los Angeles Police Department’s 77th Street Gang Enforcement Unit. His unit led the raid after receiving a tip about the party.
The Los Angeles city attorney’s office has a gang injunction against the Rollin’ 60s that severely limits members’ activities.
The raid began shortly after 1 a.m. at Platinum Live near Ventura Boulevard and Tujunga Avenue.
The club had been rented for June 10 because the month and date are associated with the gang’s name.
