However, on the same scene, a cyan four door sedan approached officers on the perimeter. One male leaned out of the vehicle, firing shots towards officers. The vehicle then sped off into the sunset, leaving several officers returning fire. While the investigation and scene wasn’t bad enough, the officers who were working to keep the public safe, were also subject to shooting of their own. Detectives gave chase on the vehicle through Ganton. It was also confirmed that the vehicle contained three individuals, all masked for the occasion. Short Chase To East Los Santos Following the initial shots fired, they got a report of additional shots fired. This resulted in a short chase to East Los Santos, just outside of the police station. The male shot towards officers and they returned fire, with one officer getting hit with shots. Following the shots fired, one male was down. The status of this male is unknown, however he looked to be in a bad way. This was a result of the gunshots between the officers and the suspect.

On the evening of the 17th November 2024, the LSPD received reports of a possible hostage situation in the Gentlemen’s Club in Ganton. The report included six armed individuals inside the building. As we arrived on the scene, the street was full of vehicles, all attending the club. Once the police had arrived on scene, they were quick to gear up with Kevlar Body Armor, Shields and High-Powered Firearms, ready to enter the building. Shortly after, the SWAT division from the Los Santos Police Department arrived. In an armored truck along with an unmarked SUV, they contained the building quite quickly. We spoke to Officer Melanie Swanson on the scene, who said; “LSPD were called to a possible hostage situation at the building behind us. Supposedly six armed individuals. Our teams are well equipped and have recently undergone training.” Within a few minutes, six males emerged from the building. The LSPD contained them very quickly, commanding orders to ensure the safety of both themselves, and the public. With nearly every officer in the force on scene, the six males found themselves outnumbered, very quickly. Sergeant Parker and Detective Marzella were impeccable. They controlled the group with precision, ensuring each male was detained without risk. One by one, the males came forward to the officers, following commands to be detained safely. With reports of six armed males at the address, each one was treated with suspicion. After safely detaining the six males, the SWAT team along with the LSPD raided the gentlemen’s club. Going room to room, looking for any more individuals along with weapons used in the offence. Several officers also secured the scene outside, transporting those arrested to custody for further investigation. This is another example of the fight against crime. Ganton is becoming a hotspot for serious incidents such as this one. With people at risk or getting injured on a daily basis. While the police are working around the clock to detain criminals, it seems the fight is increasing. Shortly after entering the building, the team confirmed that the building contained a body. The identity of this body is unknown currently, however we are pursuing leads. Possible Hostage Situation Becomes Homicide Following the arrest of six males and the SWAT team entering the property, it was quickly discovered that a body was inside. Very quickly, the scene became a homicide and all of the arrested individuals have been detained for 48 hours to allow for prompt investigation. At the time of writing, the males remain unidentified. We would be interested to know who this group of people are and their links to crime. If you know anything, feel free to call our hotline on 534235. The police also arrested several bystanders on the scene, ensuring anybody involved was detained for further investigation and to prevent risk. Strong Nose, Strong Results We also saw Sergeant Whitelock and Oscar in action for the first time. Oscar was searching the perimeter for firearms, ammo and evidence. He searched high and low for any evidence, but struggled to find anything. Further proving the individuals didn’t stash or drop weapons outside the club. As we covered in a previous article, the K9 unit is a great addition to the Los Santos Police Department. A useful tool in the fight against crime. Fantastic Work From The LSPD Overall, a fantastic effort from the LSPD. The scene was quickly secured and the males were detained without issue. The officers acknowledged the risk to both themselves and the public and worked like a well oiled machine to deliver results. This seems to be a turning point along with the new Interim Mayor, providing the change that this city needs. The fight against crime continues, but so does the LSPD and our safety too. 0 0
