Four juveniles, who had been on a spree of illegal activities, allegedly robbed a male student at gunpoint on campus Oct. 17, Sgt. Dale Toruno said.

The male student was walking on a campus road near Parking Lot D when he was approached by a white, four-door vehicle with four occupants, Toruno said.

Toruno also said that one of the subjects who got out of the vehicle, allegedly brandished what appeared to be a Beretta 9 mm gun and demanded the student’s property.

“If somebody points a gun at you, give them what they want,” Toruno said. “Give them gas money; give them a piece of gum (and) get’em the hell outta there.”

After the student complied, the subjects got back into the vehicle and exited onto Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Toruno said.

The student went to his car in Parking Lot F and exited onto Manhattan Beach Boulevard, where he flagged down a Gardena police officer at the McDonald’s on the corner of Manhattan Beach and Crenshaw boulevards, Toruno said.

“They (the four juveniles) took his phone Toruno said. “Gardena (police) called us (and) we responded to McDonalds.”

The EC officer made a crime broadcast alert to other agencies in the area, alerting them that a 211 (police code for robbery) had occurred, Toruno said.

Approximately ten minutes later, EC police were advised that Manhattan Beach police were detaining a vehicle and the occupants matched the suspects’ description, Toruno said.

“The officer took the student to that location, for what we call a field show up, to see if they were the suspects that robbed him” Toruno said. “He couldn’t positively identify the people, but they were in possession of his property and also the hand gun.”

Later, EC police were advised that the four juveniles had allegedly committed crimes in the city of Redondo Beach earlier that day, Toruno said.

After allegedly robbing the student, the juveniles allegedly robbed a pizza deliveryman in the city of Manhattan Beach, Toruno said.

The suspects were transported to Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall in Downey “and the property was returned to the student,” Toruno added.

The Juveniles, who are from the Inglewood and Hawthorne area, are now facing numerous felonies, Toruno said.

Police discovered that the gun was a replica BB gun, which doesn’t matter for the crime, Toruno said.

Police and Los Padrinos withheld the names and details of the four juveniles because of their age.

Subsequently, the robbery has raised some students’ concerns about safety on campus.

“They raise prices every semester, but we can’t have safety in our school,” Helen Hilton, 20, pre-med major, said.

Hilton said because of her safety precautions, she had already decided to never take night classes.

“I have pepper spray just in case,” Hilton said.

Hilton said that it is important to make the campus community aware of all crimes that happen on campus.

“It’s something they (students) should know about,” Minwoo Suh, 19, mechanical engineewring major, said. “Nothing sketchy happened so far to me. I’m fine as it is.”
