A man was taken into custody after allegedly running across the roofs of multiple homes and eventually breaking into one in Tujunga. 

Preliminary information indicates that a homeowner on Tujunga Canyon Place called police around 1:45 a.m. Wednesday to report hearing someone running through their backyard and across their roof. 

According to stringer service OnSceneTV, after the call was placed, the man ran across the street and into the backyard of a second home before proceeding to a third property which he forcefully entered. 

Video obtained by KTLA shows the man running through a backyard before falling while attempting to climb a fence.

Los Angeles Police Department officers arrived on the scene and were able to take the man into custody after searching the home. 

His identity is not known. No injuries were reported.

KTLA has reached out to police for more information but is yet to receive a response. 

Authorities detained 17 people near an Orange County school during an operation targeting reported drug use and sales.

Anaheim Police said suspects were spotted at La Palma Park in Anaheim which has negatively impacted a charter school located across the street.

The operation was conducted by Homeless Liaison Officers who directed enforcement and outreach services to the reported areas.

On Aug. 31, police responded to the park and detained 17 people. Seven people were arrested on various charges. Five others were provided detox and housing services and a woman who was eight months pregnant was transported to the hospital for care and housing. 

All leftover debris was removed by Lyons Security and the area will be cleaned by public works crewmembers.

Officers later responded to the 2200 block of West Lincoln Avenue on reports of an “influx of homeless individuals camping and using narcotics in the area,” police said. 

Two people, who were found passed out in a vehicle, were arrested for narcotics violations. Their truck was impounded and the area was cleared of all debris. 

“It was a great team effort to enforce the law while showing compassion and offering services in addition to the legal process,” Anaheim Police said.

A man was arrested after allegedly trying to pick up a 14-year-old girl for sex in Southern California.

The suspect was identified as Laith Fathi Sikta, 44, from Sacramento, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities completed a month-long undercover operation focusing on suspects soliciting sex from minors online.

During the investigation, Sikta had been communicating with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old girl who, in reality, was an undercover officer. 

Plans were made to meet up with the suspect. On Aug. 30, Sikta drove from Sacramento to Murrieta believing he would pick up the young girl in the middle of the night. 

When Sikta arrived, he was immediately taken into custody by deputies. Cannabis was also located in his vehicle, authorities said.

Sikta was arrested on multiple charges including contacting a minor with the intent to have sex, sending harmful matter through electronic means to a minor, and offering to furnish cannabis to a minor.

The incident remains under investigation. 

Anybody with information on the case is encouraged to call Deputy Au or Lead Investigator Roberge at the Southwest Sheriff Station at 951-696–3000.
