The LAPD are hunting a real life “Jason Bourne” who gave them the slip last week. After smelling smoke, a neighbor called the fire department 11 days ago who knocked on the door and called the LAPD when the inhabitant of the apartment was unresponsive. The cops used a battering ram to break down his penthouse door and saw the suspect escape through a back window and flee through the fire escape with several duffel bags in tow. LAPD Deputy Chief Mike Downing from the counter-terrorism Bureau told the LA Times, “He escaped like Jason Bourne.”
The police found counterfeiting equipment, multiple forms of identification (including passports), weapons, ammunition, narcotics, and $15,000 worth of counterfeit bills. Things got even more interesting when detectives on-site realized the penthouse had a clear view of the U.S. Federal Reserve building across the street. For the last week, police have been searching for 33-year-old New Jersey native, Brian Alexik, though they’re not sure that’s even his real name.
