Long Beach Police Blotter
Published 1:58 pm Sunday, March 29, 2026
March 17 — Assault/Child custody transfer issued to Child Protective Services: A detective will be emailing photos and her report when it’s completed. There are texts between two subjects talking about the abuse of a child.
An officer noted that the Long Beach Police Department received a case involving the assault of an infant. The case is under investigation.
Theft: A father came in to report that his son’s bike was stolen from their front entry at 3:35 a.m. The Blink camera was triggered, which caught the theft. The suspect was wearing an army green backpack.
The father stated the bike has a Samsung smart chip, which will ping off another Samsung device if the feature is enabled, so he is hoping eventually he will get a location, and he will notify the police department. The Blink footage is on an officer’s cell phone.
March 18 — Disturbance: A male subject called 9-1-1 to report hearing someone say “he has a gun,” and he then heard someone fire a gun. The caller believed he heard the boys who live upstairs yelling, and a vehicle peeled out.
One officer responded from Ilwaco, and another responded from Long Beach. Upon arrival, the Long Beach officer contacted several teenagers who were outside. There did not appear to be any type of disturbance.
One of the teenagers admitted they lit a large firecracker, and showed the officer the fresh burnt wrapper from the firecracker on the ground, near the road. The officer contacted the caller, and he confirmed he did not actually see anything, and was happy a gun wasn’t actually involved.
March 19 — Suspicious person: Caller reported that a suspicious male was rolling around in a mud puddle. An officer checked the area, and talked to the construction crew, and they did not see anyone acting out of the ordinary. The officer did see that one of the workers was wearing orange rain pants, and the caller said the person had orange shorts on.
Coincidentally enough, the caller was called in a short time earlier as driving erratically on U.S. Highway 101. The officer drove by the caller’s house and the caller’s car was there. The officer then checked the area a bit more for the person rolling around in the water, and was unable to locate him.
March 20 — Theft: On March 18, the caller was contacted by someone claiming to be from Verizon. They scammed him into giving them his password and pin. Immediately following the call, his phone was shut off, and they ported his number to a different device, and began accessing his accounts with two factor verifications.
He has spent the last few days talking to various banks and credit companies to report this. They advised him to contact the police department to have it on record. The officer who spoke to him said he would log the caller’s information.
March 21 — Malicious mischief search: An unknown vehicle’s door struck the caller’s truck. He did not know if it happened at McDonald’s or the Chevron gas station. Both businesses did not have footage of the event. He did not want to fill out a statement.
