Postal worker robbed at gunpoint in Palos Verdes Estates, USPS keys still missing
It was around 5 p.m. on Thursday when the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department received a call reporting the armed robbery on Via Tejon, outside of the U.S. Post Office in Malaga Cove.
Officers arrived and spoke with the victim, a USPS postal worker, who said he was gathering mail when one of the two suspects approached him.
The suspect purportedly 'displayed a handgun' and demanded the USPS worker's keys and work phone.
Police said the suspect took the keys and phone, got into a vehicle and fled the scene.
'About 30 minutes later, PVEPD officers located the suspect vehicle unoccupied and parked in Redondo Beach and conducted surveillance,' said the department in an Instagram post.
Around 7:15 p.m., officers watched as a woman got into the suspect vehicle and drove away, followed closely by a second vehicle being driven by a man who police noticed matched the armed robbery suspect description.
'Officers conducted a felony traffic stop on both cars in Redondo Beach and took both suspects into custody without further incident,' said PVEPD.
Although both suspects were arrested, police noted that the firearm and the stolen property remain outstanding.
'PVEPD detectives will continue to relentlessly investigate,' said the department's post. 'We would like to recognize the men and women who worked diligently and swiftly on this dynamic situation. Their hard work and dedication led to the arrest of two suspects.'

Browns star Myles Garrett cited for speeding 100 mph in 60 mph zone near team facility: report
Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was cited for driving 100 mph during the early hours of Saturday following the team's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. Garrett, who didn't suit up in the win over the Panthers on the road Friday night, was reportedly stopped for going 100 mph in a 60 mph zone in Strongsville, Ohio, which is just outside the team's facility in Berea, per Mary Kay Cabot. The Browns had just landed in the Cleveland area after flying back from Charlotte before Garrett was pulled over where he was "presumably on his way home," according to the report. Garrett was given a $250 ticket, which he can pay without going to court. The Browns are aware of the incident, and they will reportedly address it in Philadelphia ahead of the team's second preseason game against the Super Bowl-champion Eagles. Garrett has been cited for speeding in the past, with this being the eighth time in the Cleveland area since he was selected first overall in 2017. Also, Garrett flipped his Porsche in 2022 while speeding before trying to avoid an animal. Speeding has been a common theme off the field for the Browns early in this preseason, as rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was also caught twice in less than two weeks in June. Sanders, who had a great first taste of the NFL in the Browns' 30-10 win over the Panthers, was cited for allegedly driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, while a woman identified as Jasmine Hammond was driving in another vehicle nearby, per footage from the most recent incident on June 17. Bodycam footage from the police officer who pulled Sanders over showed him saying that he would cut the girl a break, but he would be issuing a ticket to him. Sanders also failed to appear for a June 13 arraignment for the first speeding ticket he received on June 6. "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders said about the tickets during a David Njoku charity event in June, via Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices. … I learned." Meanwhile, Garrett heads into the 2025 season with a new, four-year contract extension worth more than $40 million per season with more than $123 million in guaranteed money. He is in the conversation for the best defensive player in football every year, as he posted 14 sacks and 47 total tackles in 2024.
