Westwood Fake Bomb Scare

Caught it on LAPD West Bureau Tac 1 around 2330 hours. Randomly, I was cruising westbound on Wilshire through Westwood about 45 mins before when I saw an LAPD two-man car going eastbound code 3.

Apparently, they had a suspicious device near Wilshire and Comstock outside a hotel near the intersection. They were operating on Tac 1, closing Wilshire and blocking various streets. Basic cars (8A59) and extra and reserve units (8Z3, 8X98) were evacuating people from the surrounding high dollar apartment hi-rises. Not a great place for a high-powered bomb to light off around midnight. Bomb squad rolled and I heard some intriguing traffic about "two vans parked near the hotel that were used to transport Saudi Arabian diplomats to the hotel." The device must have been near the vans. It was all Code 4 about an hour after it started prior to the Bomb Squad's arrival.
