Members of an anti-gang detail in South L.A. are said to be under investigation for not properly using body cameras, a case that appears similar to a recent scandal.

LOS ANGELES - Mayor Karen Bass and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell have announced a significant breakthrough in a string of residential thefts with the arrest of 22-year-old Kevin Diaz, who is allegedly linked to dozens of break-ins across the region in recent weeks.

A man who was arrested after breaking into a home in Beverlywood earlier this week is connected to about 25 burglaries in the city of Los Angeles, including 14 in the San Fernando Valley, police said Thursday.

The Los Angeles City Council voted to limit "pretextual" stops, which have been blamed for racial disparities in enforcement, calling on police oversight officials to quickly adopt new policies.

The LAPD estimates it will cost $1.15 billion to staff the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, according to a memo.

Police activity on the 210 Freeway forced a closure of its westbound lanes in the San Fernando Valley on Tuesday. According to the California Highway Patrol, the westbound lanes will be closed at Polk Street in Sylmar for an unknown duration. All eastbound lanes remain open.

Los Angeles police officials said at a budget hearing this week they need 6,500 officers available to properly staff the Olympics in 2028, but meeting that goal would require support from other departments or a hiring spree that seems impossible given budget constraints and recruiting struggles.

The drones have helped with providing responding officers with real-time intelligence during the initial stages of an incident, the report says.
