WEST HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was arrested over the weekend for stealing a BMW that reportedly belonged to Lakers forward Adou Thiero.
According to the West Hollywood sheriff’s station, the incident happened Friday, December 12, when deputies were flagged down in the 8400 block of Sunset Boulevard.
They said the victim, who was not identified by the sheriff’s department, told deputies that his newer model BMW had been stolen and that he was able to track it to that location.
