Serial Follow Away Robbery Suspects Arrested
Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division announce the arrest of three suspects involved in a series of robberies referred to as, "Follow Away Robberies."
On September 19, 2024, a robbery occurred in the 23000 block of Mulholland Drive in Woodland Hills. The suspects followed and confronted the victim in a parking lot. 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 October 23, 2024, a robbery occurred in the 21000 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills. The victim was followed to a local business when a black BMW sedan drove up to him. Two rear passengers then exited armed with handguns. The suspects stripped the victim of his jewelry and fled in the BMW.
During the investigation, detectives from Robbery-Homicide Division identified 28-year-old Chazon Brown from Los Angeles, 32-year-old Isaiah Moore from Fresno, and 19-year-old Nhazel Warren from Los Angeles, as the persons responsible for these robberies.
On October 24, 2024, search and arrest warrants were served which resulted in the arrest of both Brown and Moore as well as the seizure of numerous items of evidence, including two semi-automatic pistols. Warren was arrested later that evening in the City of Long Beach.
All three suspects were arrested for 211 PC-Armed Robbery and booked into an LAPD jail facility with the following booking numbers and bail amount:
Chazon Brown, booking number 6906253, $1,000,000.00 bail
Isaiah Moore, booking number 6906249, $1,000,000.00 bail
Nhazel Warren, booking number 6906705, $1,000,000.00 bail
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. On October 29, 2024, Warren posted bond for a third time and was released.
Based on evidence collected in this case, investigators believe these three individuals are prolific robbery suspects, responsible for many other robberies. 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.
