One Arrested After Vehicle Owner Tracks Stolen Car To Santa Clarita

A man was arrested Saturday night after the owner of a stolen vehicle tracked it to Santa Clarita and found several people allegedly taking items out of it.

The vehicle had initially been reported stolen to the Los Angeles Police Department, according to Sgt. Justin Boosalis with the SCV Sheriff’s Station. Instead of waiting for officers to recover it, the owner began tracking the car on his own and drove to its location in Canyon Country.

At around 8:13 p.m., the owner called the SCV Sheriff’s Station from Whites Canyon Rd. & Ranier St., reporting that multiple people were taking belongings from the vehicle as he attempted to retrieve it.

“When they showed up, there was someone removing stuff from their car,” said Sgt. Boosalis. “When we showed up, they arrested one guy and detained several others.”

Deputies said the owner was able to get his car back while waiting for law enforcement to arrive. Four individuals were detained, and one man was arrested and taken to the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.

7 arrests made during Dodger celebrations across streets of LA, police say

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department reported that seven people were arrested Saturday night as Dodger fans took to the streets across the city to celebrate the World Series victory.

Among those arrested were three individuals charged with felony vandalism, one for failure to disperse, one for battery on a police officer, and one for possession of fireworks. Additionally, a woman was arrested after riding a bicycle into a police horse. Fortunately, the horse is reported to be unharmed.

In Echo Park, several businesses, driverless cars, and Metro buses were vandalized. LAPD officers issued a dispersal order at an intersection as large crowds of fans gathered, waving Dodger flags and shooting fireworks into the air. Some officers patrolled the streets on horseback, instructing people to leave the area.

Meanwhile, in Pacoima, video from AIR7 captured cars performing donut maneuvers at an intersection while onlookers ignited fireworks.

The LAPD went on Tactical Alert around 6 p.m. Saturday in anticipation of the celebrations and shut down streets in key areas to help manage the crowds. Dispersal orders were issued at Chick Hearn Court and 11th Street, as well as at Sunset Boulevard and Echo Park Avenue when crowds grew.
