Police arrested the suspects following a pursuit through South Los Angeles on Thursday. They are said to have contacted several victims via the social media application Tagged.
Police arrested six juvenile suspects on Thursday, all of whom are connected to a series of robberies allegedly made through a social media application.
According to Los Angeles Police Department, officers were dispatched to reports of a carjacking at around 6 p.m. Thursday evening. They eventually located the stolen vehicle, a green Honda Civic, at around 9 p.m. and attempted to perform a traffic stop. The suspects instead fled from officers, prompting a pursuit that continued until the Honda crashed into a vehicle parked on 88th Street and Menlo Avenue in South Los Angeles.
Officers detained six suspects at the scene and recovered a handgun from inside of the vehicle. Four of those suspects were taken into custody; one was arrested for felony evading and another for receiving stolen property. LAPD detectives were able to determine that the suspects were using a social media application called Tagged, where they met potential victims and lured them to areas where they were robbed at gunpoint.
Thus far, police have only disclosed that one of the suspects is a female between the ages of 16 and 20 years old, while another is a male between 17 and 20 years old.
