Police and prosecutors Monday are expected to announce plans for putting the kibosh on the growing trend of street takeovers in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Street takeovers, often associated with the looting of auto parts stores and other retail businesses that are typically closed when set upon by small mobs, have been a near-weekly occurrence in the city.<\/p>\n
On Monday afternoon, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman will be joined by law enforcement officials at a press conference at the downtown Hall of Justice to provide information about reducing the illegal street takeovers.<\/p>\n
The takeovers follow a typical pattern: auto enthusiasts block a stretch of a street, or sometimes even a freeway, while some do donuts or spin their tires in a smoky display of power. Several takeovers, like one in the 4300 block of South Main Street near Vernon Avenue in South Los Angeles, have ended with a nearby store being looted.<\/p>\n
In that case, the culprits left behind a large amount of broken glass along with scattered merchandise in the store\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n
In 2022, the Los Angeles Police Department was forced to shut down the 6th Street Viaduct, a 3,500-foot bridge between Boyle Heights and downtown Los Angeles two weeks after it opened because it was such a popular spot for takeovers reminiscent of the \u201dFast and Furious\u201d movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police and prosecutors Monday are expected to announce plans for putting the kibosh on the growing trend of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,82479,82480,2961,224,5337,18416,625,82481],"class_list":{"0":"post-137378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-curtail","11":"tag-d-a","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-losangeles","15":"tag-plan","16":"tag-street","17":"tag-takeovers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115011087639045275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137378","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=137378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
