Individual Arrested After Breaking into Parked Vehicle on the Malibu Campus
This evening, the Department of Public Safety encountered an individual on Pepperdine’s Malibu campus who was breaking into a parked car. DPS officers and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies responded, confronted the individual who proceeded off campus and over to Bluffs Park with deputies in pursuit. Sheriff’s deputies took the individual into custody off campus.
DPS is working with law enforcement and the staff member who owns the car. Out of an abundance of caution, DPS closed the permit lanes for Seaver Drive and John Tyler Drive early. These lanes are scheduled to reopen tomorrow morning at their typical times. DPS officers will conduct additional campus patrols tonight, even though law enforcement is not indicating an elevated risk.
