Rexford Drive in Beverly Hills was closed for approximately 30 minutes on the morning of April 18 as officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Los Angeles Division investigated an assault with a deadly weapon case.

Authorities initially thought the incident involved an attempted robbery, but have since determined it was a dispute between a landlord and tenant in which the female tenant allegedly brandished a firearm and threatened the property owner.

LAPD spokesman Jeff Lee said the victim reported the incident at approximately 9:30 a.m. near the corner of Highridge Drive and Highridge Place, just west of the Franklin Canyon area in a neighborhood near the Los Angeles-Beverly Hills border. LAPD officers located a black BMW sedan that was allegedly involved in the crime and the driver led them on a short pursuit that ended in front of the Beverly Hills Police Department at 464 N. Rexford Drive.

Officers at the scene took the unidentified suspect into custody and confiscated four guns including rifles and shotguns from the BMW. The case is ongoing, police said.

Anyone with information is urged to call West Los Angeles Division detectives at (310)444-1580.
