An apparent “swatting” call alleging an armed suspect was in Beverly Hills prompted a large police response Tuesday, but no evidence of a crime was found.
Officers responded at about 12:40 p.m. Tuesday to the 200 block of South Beverly Drive, between Wilshire and Olympic boulevards, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. The call appeared to center on a Chipotle restaurant.
Streets were blocked in the area as officers investigated. An armored vehicle was among the law enforcement equipment brought to the scene.
After an extensive investigation, officers determined there was no evidence of an armed suspect at the location, and police cleared the scene.
