Teen arrested for assault at Los Altos Center


Compton juvenile arrested for battery at

North Los Altos Center

The Monday December 16th police activity at the corner of Abbeyfield and Bellflower outside of Taco Beach was related to an arrest for an assault in the North Los Altos Center (Target -Trader Joes center).

Just before 7 pm on Monday night a male teen was asked to leave one of the center's retail stores numerous times by an employee after the teen was seen soliciting customers inside the store.

When the teen entered the store again and when the employee again asked him to leave, the teen allegedly assaulted the employee and fled. 

Witnesses stated that the suspected teen fled with two other teens southward on Bellflower.

Long Beach Police responded and detained three teens at the corner of Abbeyfield and Bellflower (outside of Taco Beach) that matched the witnesses descriptions.  


One of the teens, a 16 year old male from Compton, was arrested and booked for battery.

  1. Don't get your hopes up. Unless the police actually witnessed the battery, the city prosecutor will NOT press charges and prosecute. Even if the bad guy confesses to the crime.
