WOODLAND HILLS (CNS) – Three men have been arrested for allegedly committing at least two “follow away robberies” in the Woodland Hills area, and authorities Tuesday urged other possible victims to contact detectives.
On Oct. 24, detectives arrested Isaiah Moore, 32, of Fresno, Chazon Brown, 28, of Los Angeles, and Nhazel Warren, 19, also of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department reported. They were booked on suspicion of armed robbery, with bail set at $1 million each.
On Tuesday, Warren posted bond and was released, the LAPD reported. Moore and Brown remain in custody, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“At the time these crimes were committed, Warren was wearing a GPS ankle monitor placed on him by the Los Angeles County Probation Pre-Trial Services following his arrests in two separate unrelated felony cases that occurred in July and August of 2024,” the LAPD said in a statement.
On Sept. 19, a robbery occurred in the 23000 block of Mulholland Drive in Woodland Hills, police said.
“The suspects followed and confronted the victim in a parking lot,” police said in a statement. “Two suspects punched the victim, which knocked him to the ground. The suspects then pinned the victim to the ground and forcibly removed his jewelry before fleeing in a black BMW sedan.”
On Oct. 23, another robbery occurred in the 21000 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, police said.
“The victim was followed to a local business, when a black BMW sedan drove up to him,” police said in a statement. “Two rear passengers then exited armed with handguns. The suspects stripped the victim of his jewelry and fled in the BMW.”
The investigation led detectives to identify Brown, Moore and Warren as the suspects in the crimes, police said.
On Oct. 24, search and arrest warrants were served that led to the arrests of Brown and Moore, along with the seizure of items including two semi- automatic pistols, police said. Warren was arrested later that evening in Long Beach.
“Based on evidence collected in this case, investigators believe these three individuals are prolific robbery suspects, responsible for many other robberies,” police said. “Investigators believe there are many other victims who have yet to be identified. Photographs of the suspects are being released to identify and speak with additional victims.”
Anyone who has been a victim of a similar crime or who has information about the case was urged to contact Detectives Mrakich and Delph at 213-486- 6840 or via email at rhdtipline@lapd.online.
