Sunday Safety Update: 08/16/2015 - 08/23/2015


Disclaimer: Please note these maps are meant to show which direction crime is trending, areas to keep an extra eye on and places to remain vigilant in order for Central Long Beach residents to remain safe. That said, previous trends don't guarantee future trends will repeat in the same direction and patterns. Also, an absence of crime in one area, does not guarantee an absence in that same area later on. as well. 

The first thing you will notice about this map is a homicide just outside AOC7 boundaries on Tuesday 08/18/2015 at around 9:15pm. While this is out of the MacArthur Park Neighborhood, it's close enough that we are going to look at it. This was a fight that erupted into someone being struck fatally with a bottle. A 50-year-old suspect, Enrique Pina Carillo, is in custody. If you look at the previous week's map, always available on the neighborhood safety page, you will see crime was trending that direction before this homicide took place.

Neighborhood Expansion is On. That means in addition to reporting any tagging, dumping or suspicious behavior in MacArthur Park, our own neighborhood, we will also be keeping an eye on AOC7 for the few weeks, as well as an area to the west of the AOC7. It looks like activity in that area is trending west. Activity along 17th and Cerritos is trending southwest and converging in about the same area.For that reason, we're going to keep an eye on exactly that area, especially after 9:00pm.

Earlier news was that police had released footage of a person of interest in the June 28th homicide of Iran Maese. You can reread that release. We embedded all the videos and even captured a picture of the person in the video to enlarge it.

In the MacArthur Park Neighborhood, there are car thefts starting around Anaheim and Peterson trending up towards Gaviota and 17th and then towards Sherman and PCH. I am going to go out on a limb and say the lack of car thefts around Rotary Centennial Park will not continue into next week. Please reread the following article to help keep your car and belongings safe. 

Just to the east of our neighborhood it looks like some car thefts are trending southwest and then back up northwest where they trend back into out neighborhood. Because of this, be very cautious around Anaheim and Dawson. Also anyone who lives south of the neighborhood keep a close eye on 11th Street from Walnut as far east as Templel. There were a lot of things happening on 11th, including two robberies, starting at Gardenia and 11th that then also trend northwest back towards the MacArthur Park Neighborhood.

Early warning this week. Keep safe around Peterson and 15th as well as on PCH between Gardenia and Cherry.
