North Hollywood LAPD patrol unit "15 A-24" is informed by the dispatcher that a female who called the police earlier has now called back. The woman caller reports that the persons from the earlier incident have returned to the scene and parked next to her car. The woman had initially reported a car burglary.

10:45 p.m. LAPD "15 A-24" has arrived on the scene and is now checking out the alleged suspect's vehicle. The owner of that vehicle is believed to be inside the movie theater. (The car is parked in the lot next to the theater complex on Victory Boulevard.)

Victory Boulevard and Goodland Avenue corner of the theater complex.

10:48 p.m. "15 A-24" decides to "code 5 the vehicle;" meaning a stake-out, where marked patrol cars and uniformed officers are advised to stay away from the area.

The stake-out officers ("15 A-24") look through the windows of the alleged suspect's vehicle and check for any evidence to tie the car with the earlier car burglary incident.

10:53 p.m. A North Hollywood Division LAPD supervisor radios the stake-out team and asks if they see "any property from the victim (of the car burglary)."

10:54 p.m. One of the stake-out officers radios that the "engine is warm... so it could be that they came back."  (The woman had reported seeing the suspects leave the area in the initial call.  Now it seems like they returned to the scene.)

10:55 p.m.
The supervisor advises that he is calling another North Hollywood patrol unit to assist at the incident. The stake-out officer suggests the additional unit to park out of plain sight on the north side of the theater complex. He informs that he and his partner "are on foot," with their patrol car parked out of view.

10:56 p.m.
The additional patrol unit has arrived, and is now at the designated location on the north side of the theaters. An officer wonders how long until the theater closes, as that's how long they may have to wait.

11:25 p.m. Strathern Street and White Street, Sun Valley
An LAPD patrol unit request additional units at the intersection. Another patrol unit had performed a traffic stop at the intersection and then "they got some rocks thrown at them."

11:39 p.m. 18500 block of Eddy Street, Northridge
An LAPD patrol unit has been interviewing people near the possible burglary incident. They are walking on Baird Avenue near Eddy Street. From the information the officers received, they believe the possible burglary suspects may have already fled the scene.

Mission Division LAPD patrol units are called to an "unknown trouble" situation. They are requested to respond "code 3" to the apartment building.

11:50 p.m. Victory Boulevard and Coldwater Canyon Avenue, North Hollywood
One of the stake-out officers showed a picture of the alleged burglary suspect to some employees of the theater. The officer advises that one of the workers "is almost certain" that the alleged suspect "bought tickets to the Hangover 2." After short discussion, the stake-out officers decide to apprehend the possible suspects when they are inside the vehicle.

11:58 p.m. Terra Bella Street and Arleta Avenue, Arleta
Mission Division LAPD patrol units are dispatched to the scene of a possible assault with a deadly weapon at the intersection. A woman dressed in dark clothing is reported to be "pointing an object, possibly a gun at passing vehicles."

(There are no more radio transmissions concerning this incident. It is believed that the possible suspects may have been detained by the North Hollywood patrol officers, due to the alleged evidence found in the vehicle. The same items reported stolen by the woman.)
