The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) swiftly reacted to a barricaded suspect situation in Malibu during the early hours of August 21. Around 5:00 a.m., a distressing incident unfolded on the 29000 block of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), involving a suspect who was allegedly responsible for assault with a deadly weapon.
SEB personnel took control of the situation and led the tactical operations, while a Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) made efforts to establish communication with the suspect in order to peacefully resolve the situation. As a precautionary measure, Pacific Coast Highway was temporarily closed between Heathercliff Road and Busch Drive to ensure the safety of the public.
