Patrolling officers from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrested three people and seized a pound of methamphetamine as well as a stolen gun in North Hollywood, NBC4 Investigates learned Friday.
The officers were monitoring the North Hollywood neighborhood near Whitsett Fields Park Thursday afternoon when they spotted three people acting suspiciously inside a car, the LAPD told NBC4 Investigates.
When the officers checked the car’s registration, they learned it expired a year ago. Yet the car had a current registration sticker on the plate, police said.
The people inside the car, two men and one woman, were asked to step out of the car as the vehicle was impounded. Once the officers began searching inside the car, they found a stolen gun under the seat and a pound of methamphetamine.
“Three suspects off the streets — these individuals were most likely delivering methamphetamine to the unhoused individuals in tents and RV’s located by the parks,” LAPD North Hollywood Commanding Officer Cpt. Warner Castillo told NBC Los Angeles Friday.
The two men were arrested for narcotics with a firearm. The woman was arrested for possession of methamphetamine.
The case remained under investigation as it was set to be presented to the LA County District Attorney’s Office for criminal charges.
