<\/p>\nThe Los Angeles Police Department and multiple other agencies responded in droves early Saturday to reports of an illegal street takeover in the Harbor Gateway neighborhood of L.A. near Gardena.<\/p>\n
Several cars filled the streets around South Figueroa Street and West Alondra Boulevard, where police told OnScene.TV they\u2019d towed about 160 vehicles, made dozens of arrests and located six guns.<\/p>\n
Councilmember Tim McOsker, whose district includes Harbor Gateway, said to OnScene.TV that officers impounded cars, and drivers were booked while other attendees were cited. Officers took children in attendance to nearby a station where their parents could pick them up, McOsker said.<\/p>\n
McOsker said around 3 a.m., L.A. police surrounded the intersection to block attendees from fleeing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an area where on many weekends, especially throughout the summer, there were street takeovers, and this being the first night of Labor Day weekend, LAPD was ready,\u201d McOsker said. <\/p>\n

LOCATION: Figueroa St and Alondra AREA\/CITY: Gardena – LAPD says they towed about 160 vehicles and made roughly 500 arrests, and they also located 6 guns. One black BMW covered in white powder from a fire extinguisher was almost torched by the crowd in order to get away from being trapped. LAPD extinguished the flames before it completely engulfed the vehicle. Parents can be seen picking up their kids with citations in hand. I Asked the Councilman what role did HSI play in this operation but he did not even know they were there.<\/p>\n
(ONSCENE.TV)<\/p>\n
Footage from OnScene.TV shows agents from the Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, walking around the scene. <\/p>\n
When asked if he knew what role the agency played in the street takeover, McOsker said he didn\u2019t know whether Homeland Security Investigations was there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I don\u2019t know what role they played, this was a local police operation to stop street takeovers,\u201d McOsker said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Police Department and multiple other agencies responded in droves early Saturday to reports of an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1045717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2332,418492,30647,6276,2961,4530,224,5337,418491,126210,4531,202992,418493,34445,15186,173,6189,418494],"class_list":["post-1045716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-car","tag-harbor-gateway-neighborhood","tag-homeland-security-investigations","tag-l-a","tag-la","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-massive-street-takeover","tag-mcosker","tag-officer","tag-onscene","tag-other-attendee","tag-role","tag-south-bay","tag-tv","tag-vehicle","tag-west-alondra-boulevard"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1045716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1045717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1045716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1045716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1045716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
