Three suspects wanted for a series of violent “follow-away” robberies across Southern California have been arrested.
The suspects were identified by the Los Angeles Police Department as:
- Nhazel Warren, 19, from Los Angeles
- Chazon Brown, 28, from Los Angeles
- Isaiah Moore, 32, from Fresno
Police described the trio as “prolific robbery suspects responsible for many other robberies” that involved “many victims who have yet to be identified.”
One of the robberies took place on Sept. 19 when the suspects allegedly confronted a male victim in a parking lot in the 23000 block of Mulholland Drive in Woodland Hills.
The victim was punched and attacked as the impact knocked him to the ground. He remained pinned to the ground as the robbers forcibly removed his jewelry before fleeing in a black BMW sedan.
On Oct. 23, another male victim was targeted in the 21000 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills.
He was allegedly followed by the trio to a local business when a black BMW sedan suddenly drove up to him. Two passengers in the backseat exited while armed with handguns before forcibly taking the victim’s jewelry and fleeing the area.
Detectives later determined the three suspects were allegedly responsible for the violent robberies.
On Oct. 24, Brown and Moore were arrested by LAPD. Authorities also seized numerous items of evidence including two semiautomatic pistols. The third suspect, Warren, was arrested later that night in Long Beach.
All three suspects were arrested for armed robbery and are being held on $1 million bail each.
While the crimes were being committed, Warren was still wearing a GPS ankle monitor from the L.A. County Probation Pre-Trial Services following his arrests in two unrelated felony cases that occurred in July and August. On Oct. 29, Warren posted bond for a third time and was released, police said.
Detectives believe there are many more victims of the trio who have yet to come forward. Photographs of the men were released in case anyone recognized them.
