About the Lomita Sheriff’s Station and Jail
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lomita Station is located at 26123 Narbonne Avenue, Lomita, CA 90717. It provides law enforcement services to a wide area of the South Bay, including the City of Lomita, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and several unincorporated communities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
After an arrest in any of these jurisdictions, individuals are typically processed and booked at the Lomita Sheriff’s Station before being transferred — depending on the charge and classification — to one of the larger Los Angeles County Sheriff’s facilities, such as the Men’s Central Jail (downtown LA) or Century Regional Detention Facility (Lynwood). For less serious charges, some individuals may be held at Lomita and released more quickly.
The Lomita Station booking and inmate information line is (310) 539-1661. The LASD online inmate locator at app5.lasd.org/iic can help you find where your loved one was transferred.
Recent Arrests in the Lomita Sheriff’s Station Area
The Lomita Sheriff’s Station area sees a steady range of criminal activity — from property crimes and assaults to more serious felony offenses. The station publishes a weekly crime report covering its service area, which is archived on the City of Rancho Palos Verdes website and distributed to residents through Nextdoor.
One case that drew significant attention involved a home invasion robbery on Miraleste Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes, where two suspects forced their way into a family’s home, held them in another room, and ransacked the property — a reminder reported by CBS Los Angeles of how quickly a criminal situation can unfold in communities that Lomita Station deputies protect.
More recently, in March 2026, Sheriff Robert G. Luna announced the arrest of two suspects in the attempted murder of a Lomita Station deputy who was targeted in a deliberate attack while on duty. The suspects were ultimately apprehended in Hawaii following a multi-agency manhunt — an incident that underscored both the dangers Lomita deputies face daily and the serious nature of felony arrests that run through this station’s jurisdiction.
When serious charges arise — whether assault, robbery, weapons violations, or worse — families need to act quickly on bail. That’s where Big Boy Bail Bonds comes in.
How the Bail Process Works After a Lomita Arrest
Understanding the steps from arrest to release helps families act faster and avoid costly delays.
Step 1 — Arrest and Transport to Lomita Station
Deputies make the arrest and transport the individual to the Lomita Sheriff’s Station for booking. This includes fingerprinting, photographing, entering charges into the system, and a records check. The process typically takes 2 to 6 hours before a bail amount is officially entered into the system.
Step 2 — Transfer to County Jail (for felonies)
Felony charges typically result in a transfer to a larger LASD facility — most commonly Men’s Central Jail (441 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles) or Century Regional Detention Facility (11705 S. Alameda Street, Lynwood). Once transferred, the inmate can be located through the LASD inmate information center.
Step 3 — Bail Is Set and a Bondsman Is Called
Bail is set according to the Los Angeles County bail schedule. For misdemeanors, release may happen after a few hours with a citation or low bail. For felonies, bail can range from $25,000 to $1 million or more depending on the charge. A licensed bail bondsman posts the full bail amount in exchange for a 10% premium — the fastest and most affordable way to secure release.
Step 4 — Release and Court Date
Once the bond is posted and processed, your loved one is released with a court date. They must appear at every scheduled hearing. Big Boy Bail Bonds can assist with court date reminders to help keep the case moving smoothly.
Bail Amounts for Common Charges in Lomita Station’s Jurisdiction
Los Angeles County uses a standard bail schedule that sets starting bail amounts by charge type. A judge can raise or lower bail at the arraignment hearing based on criminal history, flight risk, and circumstances of the case.
- Petty theft / misdemeanor: $500 – $5,000
- Assault (misdemeanor): $10,000 – $25,000
- Assault with a deadly weapon (felony): $30,000 – $75,000
- Robbery (felony): $100,000 – $250,000
- Burglary / home invasion: $50,000 – $150,000
- Drug offenses (felony): $20,000 – $100,000
- Weapons violations: $25,000 – $150,000
- Domestic violence (felony): $50,000 – $100,000+
With Big Boy Bail Bonds, you typically pay just 10% of the bail amount as a non-refundable premium — so on a $50,000 bail, that’s $5,000 to get your loved one out. We offer flexible payment plans so you can act immediately even if funds are limited. Call 714-671-8920 to get started.
What to Know About Bail After a Lomita Sheriff’s Arrest
Several factors make Lomita Sheriff’s arrests distinct from city police department arrests:
- Jurisdiction spans multiple cities: The Lomita Station covers Lomita, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and unincorporated areas. Knowing which city the arrest occurred in helps confirm which facility holds your loved one.
- Transfers happen fast: Felony arrestees are usually transferred out of Lomita within hours of booking. Acting quickly on bail helps prevent a longer stay at a county facility.
- Bail holds for DV and serious felonies: Domestic violence arrests and certain felony charges may include mandatory hold periods (typically 48–72 hours) before bail can be posted. A bondsman can still begin the paperwork process immediately.
- Arraignment bail reductions: If the bail amount seems too high, a defense attorney can request a bail reduction at the arraignment. Posting bond before arraignment is still often faster — you don’t have to wait.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lomita Sheriff’s Jail Bail Bonds
How do I find out if someone was arrested by Lomita Sheriff’s deputies?
You can check the LASD Inmate Information Center online using the person’s full name or booking number. You can also call the Lomita Station directly at (310) 539-1661, or call Big Boy Bail Bonds at 714-671-8920 — we can look up the information for you.
Where will my loved one be held after a Lomita Sheriff’s arrest?
Misdemeanor arrestees may be held briefly at the Lomita Station and released. Felony arrestees are typically transferred to Men’s Central Jail (downtown LA) or Century Regional Detention Facility (Lynwood) within hours of booking. We can help you track the exact location.
How long does it take to get someone out after posting bail at Lomita Jail?
If the person is still at the Lomita Station, release can happen within a few hours of bond posting. If they’ve already been transferred to a county facility, the release process typically takes 4–12 hours after the bond is posted, depending on jail population and processing speed.
Can I get bail financing if I can’t afford the full 10% premium?
Yes. Big Boy Bail Bonds offers flexible payment plans. You don’t need the full premium upfront — we work with families to find an arrangement that allows you to act quickly. Call 714-671-8920 to discuss options confidentially.
What happens to the bail bond if the charges are dropped?
The bail bond premium (the 10% you paid) is non-refundable regardless of the case outcome — it’s the fee for the bondsman’s service. However, if the case is resolved and all court appearances were made, the bond is exonerated and no further obligation exists.
