Long Beach Police Crack Down on Illegal, Dangerous Long Beach Police Crack Down on Illegal, Dangerous Pocket Bikes in Downtown Area The Long Beach Police Department is stepping up enforcement against illegal pocket bikes after several recent incidents in the downtown area raised safety concerns. Officials say the small, motorized bikes often seen in large groups and promoted on social media are not only illegal for street use but pose serious risks to riders, drivers, and bystanders. In a recent targeted operation, LBPD officers seized four pocket bikes, issued citations to three individuals for operating them in prohibited areas, and made one arrest. The department says the enforcement is part of a proactive effort to address the growing problem. Police warn that pocket bike use can lead to traffic collisions, injuries, and property damage, while also putting the public and emergency responders at risk. In some cases, riders have reportedly interfered with officers and blocked emergency response efforts. Officers will continue to enforce several California Vehicle Codes, including: • §473(a) CVC – Defines pocket bikes as not designed for highway use. • §21710 CVC – Prohibits operation on sidewalks, roadways, highways, or bike paths. • §22651 CVC – Authorizes impoundment of illegally operated pocket bikes. • §24003 CVC – Requires all vehicles on public roads to meet safety standards. The LBPD is urging the public to avoid using or promoting pocket bike activity, emphasizing that such vehicles do not meet highway safety standards and cannot be legally operated on city streets, sidewalks, highways, or bicycle paths.
Downtown Long Beach Standoff Lasts 12 Hours, Suspe Downtown Long Beach Standoff Lasts 12 Hours, Suspect Escapes A massive police standoff in downtown Long Beach stretched for more than 12 hours on Tuesday, only to end with the suspect escaping. The ordeal began around 2 a.m. when a man who appeared to be armed tried to rob the 7-Eleven at Pine Avenue and Broadway, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Employees managed to run outside and alert nearby officers. What followed was a large-scale law enforcement response that shut down part of the downtown area. Heavily armed SWAT teams, armored vehicles, K9 units, and other specialized resources were deployed, drawing a significant police presence that neighbors described as overwhelming. Flashbang grenades were reportedly used as officers tried to coax the suspect out. Throughout the day, police blocked off streets and even entered neighboring businesses as they waited for a search warrant, believing the man was still inside the store. But by around 4 p.m., the scene had been cleared, and police confirmed the suspect “remained outstanding.” No description of him was immediately released. The deployment of SWAT units, armored vehicles, and extended manpower for more than 12 hours represents a significant use of city resources an expense made more frustrating given that the suspect managed to get away.
MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center Reaches M MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center Reaches Milestone in Groundbreaking Tremor Treatment Essential Tremor (ET), a neurological disorder often mistaken for Parkinson’s Disease, affects an estimated 10 million Americans—making it eight times more common. ET most often causes shaking of the hands, head, and voice, though it can also impact the legs and trunk. Symptoms worsen with stress or purposeful movement, leaving many patients struggling with simple daily tasks. MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center has now completed its 200th MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedure, marking a milestone in the fight against ET and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s Disease. The hospital is one of only a few centers in Southern California to offer this minimally invasive treatment, which delivers immediate and lasting relief from uncontrollable tremors. MRgFUS uses ultrasound waves, guided by MRI imaging, to precisely target and disrupt abnormal brain signals that cause tremors—all without incisions, implants, or radiation. Results are often immediate and can last at least five years. The center also offers Deep Brain Stimulation, another advanced option that uses implanted electrodes to regulate nerve signals. “This technology has revolutionized care, offering patients a non-invasive solution that significantly improves their quality of life,” said Dr. Devin K. Binder, medical director of the Neuroscience Institute and the most experienced MRgFUS neurosurgeon on the West Coast. The milestone procedure was performed on Ralph, a patient who endured tremors for more than 40 years. “After my procedure, I noticed an immediate difference,” he said. “I can finally sign my name and eat without assistance—I have my confidence back.” Despite being the most common movement disorder, essential tremor often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Orange Coast Medical Center’s Movement Disorders Program aims to change that, expanding access to treatments that give patients freedom from tremors—and a chance to reclaim their independence. @memorialcare
Robbery Suspect Barricaded Inside Long Beach 7-Ele Robbery Suspect Barricaded Inside Long Beach 7-Eleven Sparks Hours-Long Standoff A robbery suspect remains barricaded inside a 7-Eleven in downtown Long Beach Tuesday morning, prompting a large police and SWAT response that has shut down several streets in the area. The standoff began shortly after 2 a.m. when employees of the convenience store at West Broadway and Pine Avenue managed to escape and flag down officers after a man allegedly entered and robbed the store. Long Beach police confirmed the employees were unharmed and quickly alerted authorities. By 9 a.m., the suspect was still refusing to surrender despite repeated commands from officers outside the store. SWAT officers, a K-9 unit, and an armored BearCat vehicle were deployed to the scene, with police seen in tactical gear surrounding the business and urging the suspect to come out peacefully. The Long Beach Police Department has not released details about the suspect’s identity or what led to the confrontation. As a precaution, authorities have closed several streets, including Broadway from Pacific Avenue to Long Beach Boulevard and Pine Avenue from 1st Street to 3rd Street, as the standoff continues. Police say the situation remains active and are urging the public to avoid the area until further notice.
ICE Raid at Home Depot in Signal Hill Caught on Ca ICE Raid at Home Depot in Signal Hill Caught on Camera Signal Hill — An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a Home Depot in Signal Hill was caught on camera Monday morning, sparking outrage among witnesses. The incident unfolded around 8:32am in the store’s parking lot, where bystanders recorded video showing several masked ICE agents. Witnesses can be heard in the footage shouting at the agents as the raid took place. It remains unclear how many people were taken into custody during the operation, and ICE has not yet released a statement about the raid. The videos quickly spread on social media, drawing concern from community members who criticized the secrecy of the operation and questioned the presence of agents at a location where day laborers often gather for work opportunities. Signal Hill police confirmed they were not involved in the raid, noting the enforcement action was carried out solely by federal agents. Video by Marivel Herrera
32 Cats, 1 Dog Killed in Long Beach Apartment Fire 32 Cats, 1 Dog Killed in Long Beach Apartment Fire LONG BEACH — A devastating fire tore through a Long Beach apartment Sunday morning, killing 32 cats and one dog that were being sheltered for adoption. The blaze broke out around 7:15 a.m. at the Lindenwood Complex on the 3500 block of Linden Avenue, according to the Long Beach Fire Department. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke pouring from a third-floor unit. Crews quickly contained the flames and prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring apartments. While no residents were injured, the unit where the fire started suffered major damage, displacing one person. Capt. Jack Crabtree of the LBFD said Red Cross assistance was not required. Authorities reported that the tenant had been temporarily housing dozens of animals through an organization, and the pets were waiting to be adopted. Long Beach Animal Care said it will be providing support to the resident in the aftermath of the tragedy. A neighbor described being “in shock,” noting that residents had previously been advised against keeping animals in the building. Fire investigators remained at the scene Sunday to determine the cause and origin of the blaze.
Hyundai Hope on Wheels Awards $100,000 Grant to Su Hyundai Hope on Wheels Awards $100,000 Grant to Support Cancer Survivorship Program at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital To mark Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Awareness Month, the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach has received a $100,000 Impact Grant from Hyundai Hope on Wheels, Hyundai Motor America’s nonprofit dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. It is the third year in a row the Institute has earned this grant, bringing total funding to $300,000 since 2023. This year’s award supports the Adolescent & Young Adult Survivorship Program, which helps patients transition from treatment into long-term recovery. “We know the journey doesn’t end when treatment does,” said Dr. Jacqueline Casillas, medical director of the Institute. “This grant will strengthen our survivorship program, which provides personalized care plans, psychosocial support, and education tailored to adolescent and young adult patients.” The program addresses a critical gap in care, as young people often fall between pediatric and adult oncology. A team of oncologists, psychologists, social workers, and nurse navigators helps patients manage long-term side effects, fertility concerns, and mental health while monitoring for recurrence. Survivors are also connected with peer groups and community resources to support independence, school, and work after cancer. To celebrate, Hyundai Hope on Wheels hosted its Handprint Ceremony, where patients placed colorful handprints on a new Hyundai vehicle. The car will travel nationwide, symbolizing their resilience and raising awareness of childhood cancer. “We’re deeply grateful for Hyundai’s continued partnership,” said Dinarte Viveiros, vice president and chief nursing officer. “Their generosity honors our patients and strengthens our mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality care.” The Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute is one of just 10 children’s hospitals in the U.S. accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. It provides comprehensive care for children with cancer, sickle cell disease, and other serious blood disorders.
Truck crashes through wall on Seventh Street, leav Truck crashes through wall on Seventh Street, leaving 1 dead and 3 injured A violent crash involving a box truck and a car left one man dead and three others injured Wednesday morning after the truck plowed through a cinderblock wall along Seventh Street near Cal State Long Beach, authorities said. The collision occurred around 11:45 a.m. on Seventh Street just west of Silvera Avenue, according to Long Beach Fire Department spokesperson Brian Fisk. Police said the box truck struck a black Tesla sedan before veering off the roadway and smashing through a wall on the south side of the street, bordering a residential neighborhood. The truck came to rest at an awkward angle in the wreckage. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to extricate three men trapped inside, Fisk said. One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Two others were rushed to a hospital in critical condition. The Tesla, left with a crumpled front end and facing the wrong direction, was heavily damaged in the crash. Its driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. Authorities have not determined the cause of the collision. The identity of the man who died is being withheld pending notification of his family. Seventh Street was shut down between Pepper Tree Lane and Campus Drive for several hours as investigators worked to document the scene and clear the wreckage. 📸 @betabrian93
No DUI Arrests at Long Beach Checkpoint: Effective No DUI Arrests at Long Beach Checkpoint: Effective Deterrent or Waste of Resources? LONG BEACH — A DUI/Driver License checkpoint held by the Long Beach Police Department over the weekend led to 13 citations but no arrests for impaired driving, raising questions about whether these operations are an effective deterrent or a misuse of police resources and state grant money. The checkpoint was conducted Sept. 12, 2025, at Pacific Coast Highway and Loynes Drive from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Police reported 1,328 vehicles passed through, with 397 drivers screened. Eight drivers were cited for operating a vehicle without a license or with a suspended or revoked license, and five were cited for other traffic violations. No one was arrested for DUI. According to LBPD, checkpoint locations are chosen based on crash data, with the goal of promoting safety and deterring impaired drivers. “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Commander Jeremy Boshnack said ahead of the operation. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.” The operation was funded by a California Office of Traffic Safety grant, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That funding raises the question: if no impaired drivers are caught, is this the best use of taxpayer dollars and officer time? Supporters argue the absence of DUI arrests may mean the checkpoint worked as intended, discouraging people from drinking and driving. Critics say the same resources might be better used on patrol, where officers can directly intervene against reckless or impaired drivers. The LBPD emphasizes that impaired driving extends beyond alcohol. Marijuana use, even though legal, remains illegal behind the wheel, and some prescription or over-the-counter medications can also impair drivers. First-time DUI convictions can cost about $13,500 in fines and penalties and lead to a suspended license. As more checkpoints are planned, the debate continues: are they an essential tool to save lives, or a costly exercise with little measurable impact?
ICE Operation at Long Beach Car Wash Leads to Arre ICE Operation at Long Beach Car Wash Leads to Arrests LONG BEACH, Calif. — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid Saturday morning at a car wash in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, taking some individuals into custody, according to witnesses and video posted to social media. The raid occurred around 10 a.m., when multiple ICE agents arrived at the business and detained people at the scene. Footage recorded by a bystander shows masked agents escorting individuals into government vehicles as onlookers expressed shock. Details about how many people were detained or the reasons for their arrest were not immediately available. ICE has not released an official statement regarding the operation. Community members quickly reacted online, with some sharing the video across social media platforms. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
Long Beach Police to Hold DUI Checkpoint Tonight i Long Beach Police to Hold DUI Checkpoint Tonight in East Division LONG BEACH, Calif. — The Long Beach Police Department announced it will conduct a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and driver’s license checkpoint Friday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the East Division area. Police said checkpoint locations are selected using data that highlights areas with a history of impaired driving crashes. The goal is to enhance public safety by identifying and removing drivers suspected of being under the influence. “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Commander Jeremy Boshnack said in a statement. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improves traffic safety.” Authorities emphasized that impairment goes beyond alcohol. Certain prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as marijuana — whether used for medicinal or recreational purposes — can affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. Driving under the influence of marijuana remains illegal. According to police, a first-time DUI arrest can result in fines and penalties averaging $13,500, in addition to a suspended driver’s license. The checkpoint is funded through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Annual ‘Champions Run for Life’ Torch Run Rais Annual ‘Champions Run for Life’ Torch Run Raises Funds, Awareness for Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Disease LONG BEACH, Calif. — Children battling cancer and serious blood disorders, along with survivors, families, and community supporters, came together for the 37th annual Champions Run for Life “Torch Run” at Shoreline Aquatic Park. Hosted by the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, the fundraiser supported care, research, and family-centered programs that benefit more than 800 children each year. Patients and survivors ran, walked, wheeled, or were carried around a one-eighth-mile course, passing an Olympic-style torch as a symbol of hope and resilience. Each child received a medal at the finish line while family, friends, and sponsors showed support with honorary posters and by joining the lap. After the run, participants enjoyed carnival games, prizes, and a celebratory festival. Organizers said the event was both a tribute to survivors and a show of solidarity with those still undergoing treatment. “Champions Run for Life is about more than raising money — it’s about showing every child and family that they are not alone in this fight,” representatives from the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute said. The Champions Run for Life is one of the institute’s largest annual fundraisers, with proceeds benefiting programs such as psychology, social work, survivorship care, sibling activities, art therapy, and school reintegration support. The event also helped raise awareness ahead of September, which is recognized as Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month.

Long Beach pitches new minor league baseball team Long Beach pitches new minor league baseball team with Warren G as part-owner Long Beach is once again making a pitch for minor league baseball, this time with a hometown legend joining the effort. City officials announced plans this summer to bring a professional baseball team to Blair Field in partnership with Cal State Long Beach and the Long Beach Baseball Club. The team intends to join the Pioneer Baseball League, an MLB Partner League, as early as 2026. On Friday, Long Beach native and rap artist Warren G was introduced as part of the ownership group. “This is more than just owning part of a team, it’s about giving back to my city,” Warren G said in a statement. “Long Beach shaped me, and I want to help build something positive for the next generation. Baseball brings people together, and that’s what I’m all about.” He also told KABC-TV he wants the team to reflect Long Beach’s energy, culture and diversity. The franchise, temporarily called the Long Beach Baseball Club, is holding a fan contest to decide on a permanent name by Sept. 12. One popular suggestion is the “Long Beach Regulators,” a nod to Warren G’s 1990s hit “Regulate.” Long Beach has hosted several minor league teams, though most had short runs. The Clothiers played in 1910, followed by the Beachcombers in 1913. The Barracudas debuted in 1995, rebranding as the Riptide in 1996 before relocating. The Breakers launched in 2001, won a title in their first season and folded in 2003 when their league shut down. The Armada played from 2005 to 2009 in the Golden Baseball League before a legal dispute ended their run. This marks the city’s fourth attempt in three decades to establish an independent professional team. Supporters say working with the university and joining the Pioneer League gives the plan more stability than past efforts. “Our goal is to create a team that reflects Long Beach, lasts in Long Beach and belongs to Long Beach,” the Long Beach Baseball Club said in a statement. If successful, the team would begin play at Blair Field in 2026.

The rescue took place at a motel in the 5300 block of Atlantic Avenue following a call reporting possible human trafficking.

Two Fatal Traffic Collisions in Long Beach Over Ho Two Fatal Traffic Collisions in Long Beach Over Holiday Weekend Long Beach police are investigating two separate fatal traffic collisions that claimed the lives of a motorcyclist and a scooter rider over the Labor Day weekend. The first crash occurred Saturday, Aug. 30, at about 9:01 p.m. at 11th Street and Redondo Avenue.
