MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.—Four suspects in a dark-colored Jeep Wrangler robbed a woman and her friend in Manhattan Beach Saturday morning, and police later learned that similar crimes occurred at least twice in neighboring Hawthorne, authorities said.
Officers were sent to the 200 block of 40th Street at about 3:35 a.m. Saturday on a robbery report and spoke to the woman, who told them she and a friend were walking when a vehicle drove up and the occupants tried to get their attention, Manhattan Beach Police Sgt. Taylor Klosowski said.
