Traffic Stop Unearths Burglary Tools and Stolen Copper | Venice Beach News
Description
A routine early-morning traffic stop in Santa Monica turned explosive: cops found heavy copper wire, burglary tools, fake license plates, and three taped-up cellphones in a car. Driver Walter Hernandez, 28, faced charges for driving without a license, open alcohol containers, drug paraphernalia, and conspiracy. His passenger, Cristian Portillo, 41, had an active felony warrant for grand theft. Detectives are now tracing the stolen goods—including key fobs and plates—to uncover the full scope of their operation. The car was towed, and everything inside is now evidence. A regular stop? Not anymore.
