Shot Fired at Car Repo Team in Unincorporated Monrovia, Two Arrests Made
A shot was fired at a team of people who were trying to repossess a vehicle on California Avenue.
Sheriff's deputies have arrested two men and are searching for a third after they were allegedly involved in a shooting in unincorporated Monrovia on Tuesday.
A two-man car repossession team was fired upon while they attempted to take possession of a car in the 2100 block of California Avenue at about 2:53 p.m., Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Edward Godfrey said.
Three men exited a home near where the car was parked while the repo men were trying to take the car, Godfrey said. One of the men was carrying a "long gun" and fired a round at the repo men, he said.
"When the repo team ran away, there were three suspects that chased him," Godfrey said.
Two unidentified men have been taken into custody and a third remains outstanding, Godfrey said. A search warrant was served at the residence but a gun was not recovered, he said.
