Two Arrested, Loaded Firearm Recovered

On February 13, 2021, just after 3:00 a.m., a patrol officer was driving through an open parking lot on the 2000 block of W Glenoaks Blvd when they observed an unoccupied vehicle parked in a marked disabled space without a disabled placard displayed.  The officer also noticed the vehicle had expired registration and could see a methamphetamine pipe on the back seat. 

Three subjects exited the business at the location and walked towards the vehicle.  The officer contacted the subjects and 36-year-old Ramneek Singh of Van Nuys claimed ownership of the vehicle.  Singh was found to be in possession of shaved keys and one of the other subjects, 30-year-old Neiko Clayton (transient), was found to have an outstanding warrant. 

While searching the vehicle, officers located a loaded handgun under the driver’s seat.  As officers began handcuffing the three subject’s to detain them pending further investigation, Singh fled on foot.  After a foot pursuit, Singh was taken into custody.  Officers resumed the search of the vehicle and located over 50 checks belonging to other people that had been filled out and signed along with a driver’s license belonging to another person.

Singh was arrested and booked for possession of a concealed weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property, obstruction and possession of drug paraphernalia.  Clayton was arrested and booked for identity theft, possession of drug paraphernalia and for his outstanding warrant.  Singh was held in custody with bail while Clayton was issued a notice to appear and released from custody due to Los Angeles County’s emergency “zero-dollar” bail schedule.
