The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department @WHDLASD conducted a scheduled undercover operation last night in West Hollywood's Rainbow District in response to reports of pickpocketing and other criminal activity.

Several arrests were made.

Some community members have expressed concern that the operation was conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This is not the case; ICE was not involved.

The City of West Hollywood and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department remain committed to ensuring public safety in our community's entertainment areas and will continue working together to maintain a safe, welcoming, and affirming environment for all.

See something, say something” results in arrest

We often tell the public “If you see something, say something.” A community member put that into action over the weekend, flagging down one of our patrol deputies after they saw a man with a gun.
