𝗚𝗨𝗡𝗦 𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗪𝗡: Police Hold Two at Gunpoint After License-Plate Alert in Santa Monica

Описание: On Thursday, November 6, 2025, at around 5 p.m., approximately a dozen Santa Monica Police officers initiated a high-risk traffic stop on Marine Street near Neilsen Way after receiving an automated alert from the city’s camera network regarding a vehicle reportedly wanted for further investigation.

Officers conducted the stop with weapons drawn and ordered two occupants out of the vehicle. The individuals were then placed in handcuffs and temporarily detained while officers verified information connected to the alert.

According to officers at the scene, the vehicle matched a plate associated with a notice flag — however it was later confirmed to be a rental. After documentation checks and verification, the two individuals were released.

Police indicated they would contact the rental company for follow-up regarding the alert originating from the vehicle’s registration.
