Overview
- Anaheim police launched an internal use-of-force investigation after cellphone video showed an officer appearing to strike a 17-year-old during a Friday arrest in Lynwood.
- Undercover officers moved in on the teen identified as the final suspect in the Anaheim Hills jewelry heist, and a Taser deployment failed during the confrontation.
- Authorities say the suspect tried to carjack two vehicles before being taken into custody, and he was treated for injuries before booking into Orange County Juvenile Hall.
- Investigators report recovering a gun, a ski mask and an electronic device used to steal vehicles from the suspect’s car, and note he had a felony warrant in Los Angeles County.
- Police corrected viral claims that the arrest involved ICE, stating only local officers were present, as prosecutors continue cases against seven charged adult suspects in the $750,000–$800,000 Classic Jewelers robbery.
