Actor Keegan Allen Robbed at Gunpoint at Laurel Supply in WeHo

Keegan Allen says he was robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint in West Hollywood on Thursday evening after two masked men struck him in the head and stole his Rolex watch outside Laurel Supply market.

The robbery was reported shortly after police received a 911 call about a victim being assaulted with a gun and robbed of a Rolex. The suspects, described in sheriff’s radio communications as two Black male adults, fled north on Olive Drive in an unknown vehicle.

Allen, known for his role as Toby Cavanaugh on the television series “Pretty Little Liars,” shared a video on Instagram showing his face covered in blood following the attack.

“West Hollywood is not safe anymore,” Allen wrote in the post. “Robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint by two young men that threatened to KILL me over my watch and would have! God said no tonight. My life for a watch.”

In the Instagram reel, Allen described being confronted by two masked men, one armed with a gun and the other with a knife. He also shared surveillance footage that appeared to show the suspects pointing their weapons at him and striking him in the head three times before fleeing with his watch.

“I was just robbed of my watch outside of Laurel Supply,” Allen said in the video. “These two dudes hit me in the head, pointing a gun at me with a knife, and then took off. They had masks on. Took my watch though.”

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the scene at 8445 Santa Monica Boulevard, with multiple units responding to the reported armed robbery.

The incident comes amid a series of reported robberies in the West Hollywood area over the past month, including a robbery involving a shooting on Oct. 1. (Credit: WeHo Times)

New Dog Park Opens Today at Plummer Park!

Plummer Park’s new dog park opens Friday, October 9. Finally. The City sent word Thursday that the small- and large-dog areas will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The new off-leash area is on the Vista Street side of the park, just west of the tennis and pickleball courts. Plummer Park’s address is 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard, but if you’re walking over from the neighborhood, Vista is where you’ll find it.

So what do you and the pups get? Separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, with double gates so you can get the leash on or off before letting your dog through. Both sides have drinking fountains for dogs and people, places to sit, shade sails and waste stations. There’s lighting along the fence, too, since the park will stay open until 10 p.m. And the old ramp from Vista Street to the tennis courts has been replaced with an accessible walkway.

Struggling to meet new people and socialize. Any creative solutions?

I tried meeting people through the bar scene for a while but I realized a lot of those friendships revolved around drinking and quickly escalated into less healthy sometimes dangerous territory.

Once I stepped away from that crowd I found it very difficult to meet people organically.

Dating apps haven't really clicked for me either. I've learned that if someone isn't naturally woven into your day to day life, it's hard to build momentum without things feeling forced and awkward.

Before anyone suggests the gym, I've tried that. Most of the gyms around me feel more like influencer casting calls than community spaces and as a average guy, it hasn't been the easiest environment to connect with people.

All of that said, I live in a major city and I've never felt lonelier. For those of you who found a solid friend group as adults, how did it actually happen?
