Summary: An armed robbery (211) suspect, described as a 25-year-old Middle Eastern male with a beard, wearing a black sweater, hat, pants, and armed with a black handgun, was reported at or near 1817 Gledhill Street, Los Angeles. The suspect fled the scene, prompting LAPD Valley Bureau to establish a perimeter in the surrounding neighborhood, including streets such as Willis, Strather, Victory, Friar, Gilmore, Vesper, Prairie, and Geyser. Multiple units responded, shutting down key intersections and searching for the suspect, who was last seen jumping into a backyard and later described as a Hispanic male, 35 years old, wearing a black shirt with green graphics and dirty brown pants.
