Home Invasion Robbery
The California City Police Department arrested 3 suspects overnight in connection with a home-invasion
robbery that occurred late Thursday evening. Police were called to a home in the 20000 block of Neuralia Road
in California City at 11:00 PM. The victims told police that 4 black males with hooded sweatshirts and bandanas over
their faces entered the home through an unlocked rear door. The suspects were armed with handguns and forced the victims, a mother with 3 small children, into a bathroom while they ransacked the victim’s home.

The suspects fled on foot a short time later and the victim notified police.
A California City Police K-9 team was patrolling the area when police received the call.
The K-9 Officer was able to track evidence to a home several blocks away. Officers located 3 of the 4 suspects along
with property belonging to the victim. Police are still investigating the incident and the search for the fourth suspect is continuing.
