Four pharmacy burglaries were reported across the L.A. area in a 48-hour period, including at one location that was targeted just over a month ago. 

The owner of LAX Pharmacy, which lies in the 4000 block of Lennox Boulevard in Lennox, told KTLA on Wednesday that his store had last been hit around 40 days ago, which was around when they got their last shipment of codeine cough suppressant. 

He said that six suspects bypassed his recently installed security measures around 2:15 a.m. Wednesday and broke into the store to steal more codeine. Police were not able to confirm what, if anything, was stolen. 

The Lennox burglary occurred shortly before another pharmacy in Beverly Hills was hit by multiple thieves.  Preliminary information indicates that incident took place at Pharmacy 90210 on Wilshire Boulevard around 2:45 a.m. and involved four suspects who were said to have stolen an unknown amount of narcotics. 

Those suspects then purportedly fled in a Dodge Durango Hellcat and lost officers after a pursuit; however, police confirmed that one person was detained in connection with the Beverly Hills burglary, but they did not release any further information.  

Wednesday morning’s burglaries come on the heels of two other pharmacies being burglarized in Sun Valley and Valley Village.

It is not known if any of the incidents are related.

A machete-wielding man was arrested after leading officers on a pursuit through San Bernardino County Tuesday.

Upland Police initially responded to a disturbance at a home on the 200 block of North 10th Avenue.

The male suspect, who was not identified, had kicked in the front door and threatened two victims inside, police said.

While carrying a machete, the suspect reportedly threatened to kill the victims before striking them with the weapon, according to officers.

Both victims were left with lacerations but survived the attack.

The suspect fled the scene. Police responding to the area spotted the suspect’s vehicle and attempted to pull him over, but he refused to cooperate, leading police on a pursuit.

The chase eventually ended after the suspect crashed into a patrol car. He exited the car and attempted to run away but was “quickly captured and arrested,” Upland Police said.

The man was taken into custody on attempted murder charges. Police confirmed the victims knew the suspect, but no further details were released. His identity was not released as the case remains under investigation.

A massive dust devil ripping through an open field in Riverside County over the weekend was captured on a driver’s cellphone camera.  

The Aug. 11 twister was spotted near Dunlap Road and San Jacinto Avenue, about eight miles south of the Lake Perris State Recreation Area. 

Footage of the incident showed the twister combined with a second dust devil, making it look even more ominous.  

A little more than a week before this dust devil was spotted, on Aug. 2, a skydiving instructor, 28-year-old Deverey LaRiccia Chase, and her student, 28-year-old Kayla Kieko Black, were killed after they were caught up in a pair of dust devils during a routine jump in Perris.  

A “dust devil” is a small, rotating column of air that picks up dust and debris from the ground on hot days; while they resemble tornadoes, they are generally considered to be harmless, except for certain circumstances.   

“She missed the first one, and when she maneuvered around it, she hit the second one,” Freddy Chase, a skydiver himself, said of his wife.  “At that point, she was about 25 to 30 feet in the air … it sent her canopy in a downward spiral.”   

With no time left to react, both Devrey and Kayla slammed into the ground.   

The two were rushed to a local hospital, where the former succumbed to her injuries that day and the latter just two days later.
