Two people were arrested Wednesday for allegedly assaulting and robbing a victim in the Encino area.
Officers responded at approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday to the 15300 block of Valley Vista Boulevard, near the San Diego (405) Freeway, following reports of a robbery, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police said two unidentified suspects used “bodily force” to rob the victim of jewelry. Both suspects were ultimately arrested, and the victim was not injured, police said.
A media report indicated that the location may have been tied to a gambling operation, but police did not confirm that detail.
