LAPD: 11 arrested on drug, weapons violations at Westlake motel
About a dozen people were arrested Wednesday when Los Angeles police raided a Westlake motel, authorities said.
A resident at the Royal Park Motel, at 1906 W. 3rd St., said he heard police breaking down a door about 7 a.m. and watched as officers served several warrants at the location.
Sgt. Michael Mabie of LAPD’s Rampart Division confirmed 11 people were taken into custody for alleged drug, weapons and trespassing violations. Their names were not available mid-morning, as they were being still being processed by police.
Mabie said the motel was the only location where Rampart officers served warrants in connection with the alleged crimes.
