10:45am | Police have arrested a 23-year old Ranchos Palos Verdes resident in connection with two vandalism incidents that damaged Long Beach establishments that cater to the gay and lesbian community back in December 2010.

Olivier Rodrich Saintvictor has been charged with felony vandalism with a special allegation for hate crimes. He allegedly threw something through windows at both The Center Long Beach on 4th Street and Club Ripples on Ocean Boulevard on the night of December 17, 2010.

“Detectives assigned to the cases were immediately concerned about the fact that both businesses targeted in the vandalisms were establishments that cater to the gay and lesbian community,” reads a press release from the Long Beach Police Department.

“The investigation led them to a third vandalism reported from a similar type of business in the city of Redondo Beach with similar circumstances. Detectives discovered that the crime occurred on the same date and matched the suspect and vehicle descriptions from the Long Beach incidents.”

Witnesses provided matching descriptions of a six-foot tall black man with long dreadlocks, driving a white Toyota Prius. These details were provided to the Violent Crimes Detail. The connections in the three cases led detectives to investigate them as hate crimes.

Detectives believe there may be additional victims and urge them and anyone who may have additional information about these crimes to Long Beach Police Department Violent Crimes Detective Jackie Bezart at (562) 570-7250.
