An investigation is underway after a smoke and vape shop in San Bernardino County was allegedly vandalized by six people, including two very young juveniles.

Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of the vandalism at My Generation Smoke & Vape at 14666 7th Street in Victorville at around 7 p.m., officials confirmed to KTLA.  

The shop’s manager, Hasan Zaqqa, explained that an adult female entered the shop to purchase some products before asking for free merchandise.  

Zaqqa said that when the shop’s employees said they couldn’t give away any items for free, the woman exited the store, went to her car and reportedly told around five other people to enter the shop and confront store employees.  

Security cameras captured much of the incident, including at least two children, getting out of the car, entering the store and confronting the employees. As the group was leaving, several of them pushed over display cases on the counter, while another one grabbed an item from the store and threw it.  

That’s when Zaqqa said he grabbed a stick, ran out of the store and tried to get them to leave.  

It appears from security footage that he was swinging the stick at the vandals’ vehicle as it drove forward and then came to another stop as everyone exited the car and headed back to the shop’s entrance where Zaqqa and another employee were seen inside.  

At that point, the woman, as well as the man who had been driving the vehicle, attempted to confront the store’s employees and ultimately began smashing the shop’s doors and windows.  

The suspects fled the area before deputies arrived and remain outstanding.  

The relationship between the group of people who entered and allegedly vandalized the store is unknown at this time.  

Los Angeles Dodgers’ superstar Shohei Ohtani is the 2024 National League Most Valuable Player.

It was a unanimous decision to award the Japanese phenom the 2024 MVP, and in doing so, create another historic moment as he becomes the first full-time designated hitter to win it.

Cementing his legacy as one of the game’s greatest players, Ohtani’s first season as a member of the Dodgers will be remembered as one of the most accomplished single seasons in sports history.

He became the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season, finishing with a .310 batting average, 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, and 59 stolen bases. His 1.036 OPS led the National League and was second in all of baseball behind presumptive AL MVP Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees.

The Dodgers signed Ohtani to a record-setting $700 million deal last December, and he immediately delivered on his monumental contract.

In addition to his incredible regular-season numbers, Ohtani played a pivotal role in leading the Dodgers to their first World Series title since 2020. The Dodgers defeated the Yankees in five games, with Ohtani providing key hits throughout the postseason, including a home run in his first-ever playoff game.

While injuries kept him from reaching his regular season greatness, Ohtani’s still delivered playoff heroics and helped silence any remaining doubters.

His unanimous selection as NL MVP follows three previous AL MVP awards, making him the only player in MLB history to achieve such a feat across both leagues.

Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets finished second in MVP voting, while Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte placed third.

After finally making the playoffs and winning a championship in his first year with the Dodgers, Ohtani is poised to return to the mound in 2025 as the game’s most electrifying two-way player.

The Los Angeles Dodgers met with four-time all-star Juan Soto this week but unless the market changes the defending World Series champs may have a tough time signing the coveted free agent, KTLA’s David “Ping” Pingalore reports.

“I can confirm through sources that @juansoto25_ did meet with Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes in Orange County today,” Ping posted on his Instagram account Tuesday.

Soto is the most sought-after slugger in the free agent market with other big-payroll teams like the New York Yankees (Soto’s most recent club) and the New York Mets expected to engage in a bidding war to land the outfielder who cracked 41 homers and knocked in 109 RBI while recording a .288 batting average in 2024.

The Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies are also expected to take a shot at Soto but Ping says Los Angeles may be hampered by a hesitancy to offer a long-term deal.

“According to sources if the market weakens the @dodgers interest would only be a 1-2 year deal as Soto seeks a long-term deal for 600m,” Ping posted.

The Dodgers are very familiar with what Soto can offer a team’s offense after facing him as a member of the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres in the National League. 

Soto also played well in the World Series against the Dodgers. Despite the Yankees losing in five games Soto batted .313 and hit a home run in Game 2.
