Two Santa Clarita, California residents responding to a Craigslist ad for a camera were robbed in Hollywood Nov. 20 by three suspects who blocked their vehicle and took all their personal belongings, including their cellphones and cash for the camera. The men wore ski masks and fled in a black BMW with no license plates. Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies initially had little to go on except for the missing cellphones.

In the ensuing weeks, detectives found a similar incident that took place in the North Hollywood area, investigated by Los Angeles police. Electronic communications were used to identify a potential suspect. That led authorities to the vehicle used in the crime and the arrest Dec. 3 of Talin Shahin, of North Hollywood on suspicion of robbery. Aram Damirjian, of Canyon Country was also arrested just after he appeared in a San Fernando courtroom on an unrelated marijuana case.

During a search of Damirjian's residence in the 28200 block of Winterdale Drive, sheriff's investigators found evidence of a robbery as well as a marijuana growing operation in the garage that included 90 marijuana plants. Damirjian, who is free on bail, faces charges of drug cultivation in addition to robbery.

A Long Beach, California homeless man was found guilty of 22 counts including attempted murder, kidnapping and mayhem. He stabbed, slashed or strangled six women from February to May 2008; all of the victims survived. The homeless man who went on a crime rampage in downtown Long Beach that included slashing two women's throats was sentenced to 11 life terms and 433 years in prison.

Charles Juan Proctor was convicted of 22 counts including attempted murder, kidnapping for robbery and mayhem. He was accused of robbing various Long Beach businesses and one in Hawaiian Gardens for cash ranging from $35 to about $700. In the process, Proctor threatened, slashed, stabbed or strangled six female shop owners.

The prosecution alleged that Proctor left a 1/4-inch-wide gash on one woman's throat. In another incident, he stuck a knife into a woman's throat and turned it when she resisted, then repeatedly slashed her face.

The victims, of varying age and race, were attacked in beauty salons, a clothing boutique and a bridal shop. The incidents occurred between February and May 2008, most of them on consecutive days in late April. The crimes were linked to Proctor through DNA he left on a cellphone case at one of the crime scenes. The genetic material was matched to Proctor's records in Nevada, where he had been arrested and convicted for assaulting a woman with a box cutter in a Hooter's parking lot in Las Vegas in 2007.

Proctor will serve nine years in Nevada prison for his conviction there, then return to California for the rest of his terms. Victims spoke at Proctor's sentencing, saying they continue to be haunted and traumatized by the attacks.
