- Santa Monica Police officers responded to a call from the Los Angeles County Lifeguards regarding a reported robbery at Santa Monica Beach on Wednesday, August 14, 2024. The alleged victim, a homeless individual, claimed that another homeless person had robbed him at knifepoint, taking his belongings, including medication bearing his name.
Officers spoke with the alleged victim to gather his account of the incident. He indicated that the suspect was located approximately 100 yards away in a nearby tent. The officers informed the victim that they would approach the suspect's encampment to verify whether his belongings were present.
When officers approached the tent, the suspect denied the accusation but cooperated with authorities by allowing them to search his encampment. After a thorough search, the officers were unable to locate any of the items described by the alleged victim.
The officers then returned to inform the victim that the search did not yield any of his missing belongings. The police noted that they were familiar with the alleged victim, who had made similar accusations in the past, which were also found to be unsubstantiated. The investigation was concluded, and the officers left the scene without further action.

Keep at it Los Angeles. Homeless out. Go camp in the desert.
Slab city would be a good place! and they can still sleep 12 hours a day!
You can dress them up but you can't take them out 🤔
Looks like the cop tossed it, he was looking at meds. Maybe it was the blue bag with brown staps. Could have been UNDER the tent. They didn't event ask the guy to get out of the tent. How is this even remotely police work to give attitude and indifference to a potential victim. What would he lie? This was all around embarrassing. Innocent till proven guilty but there was ZERO real police work done here.
If it is a narcotic the victim could be making the accusation so that a police report would then be provided to the Dr and a replacement would be issued. Even more likely if the victim has done this before. However, if it's the same Dr the victim could be in for disappointment.
The cop shook a bottle of medication 💊
Am I missing something here? Bald cop pulls out a med bottle (by green tent) puts it back in bag and then throws it away in the brown container?
Governor should step in and clean all this craziness. Enough is enough. If the city council members can’t do it. Give it to the Feds and have them enforce and clean our state.
It's all on Them......
Is Santa Monica going to give the boot to homeless encampments next year, or are they going to follow the City of Los Angles?
It's going to be interesting with the Olympics there in 4 years. Will profit triumph over liberal feels?????
Ask military to fight for the country. Help these local authorities.

Especially, ban all those high-capacity assault knives!
Knives were made to cut food guns were made to kill and only kill.

Safety first! Officer baldy needs to be sent home for riding in the back of that pickup! If he got hurt he would sue the dept shame shame shame
That officer is breaking the law riding in the back of the truck like that. And he doesn't have a helmet on. I agree with "Safety first" and we need to be very diligent on this. Rule for thee but not for me.
