Tesla camera captures video of suspects stealing safe from Woodland Hills home
Cameras on a Tesla captured the moments that two suspects allegedly took off with a safe they stole from a home in Woodland Hills on Sunday. Los Angeles police say that the burglary was reported just after 7 p.m. in the 4800 block of Canoga Avenue. The video shows two men, one wearing a black hoodie and black jeans, and the second wearing a gray sweatshirt with red pants, as they hurry away from a block of homes towards a black Mercedes-Benz. The second suspect can also be seen hauling what looks to be a safe. After they load the safe into the back of their vehicle they began to flee, but the Tesla driver followed them for a short distance, according to the driver. They said that once the suspects appeared to notice they were being followed, they performed a quick u-turn, which caused them to clip another vehicle. A neighbor who witnessed the crash said that the suspects sped from the area despite the tire being damaged in the collision. "He literally took off full speed, skidding with the tire track," said the neighbor. No injuries were reported in the incident and no arrested have been announced by police.

Marcus Morris Taken Into Custody, Markieff Reacts To Arrest
Marcus Morris Taken Into Custody, Markieff Reacts To Arrest originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Former Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris was reportedly arrested in Florida and is being held without bond on a fraud charge. As reported by TMZ first, the statement read: "Marcus Morris Sr. has been arrested on a fraud charge in Florida ... TMZ has learned. The 13-year NBA veteran was taken into custody Sunday in Broward County, Florida, according to online booking records." The veteran forward was reportedly arrested on an out-of-state warrant for writing a bad check, implying that he bounced a check and is currently being held in custody for it. Morris has had run-ins with the authorities in the past as well. In 2012, the 35-year-old was charged with battery, leading him to enter a diversion program for rehabilitation purposes. In 2015, he was also charged with assault in an alleged brawl, but he was acquitted of these charges. The incident drew a direct response from his twin brother, Markieff. The former Lakers forward reacted to the news of his brother's arrest and tweeted: "The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family. They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud shit. They could have came to the crib for all that. When y'all hear the real story on this shit man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird shit gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!" The response from Markieff appears to present a positive outlook for the future as the matter seems to have been resolved. With implications that Marcus will be released soon to reveal the "real story," more information is expected to come to light. Update: The arrest was due to Morris' outstanding casino debt of over $1200, as per his agent. The Morris twins have been in the limelight as of late. Since Markieff's altercation with Nikola Jokic, the twins recently shared more on their beef with Jokic and his brothers. The back-and-forth has been an exciting sight for the fans. Marcus Morris Sr. was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2011 with the 11th overall pick. After his rookie season, the forward was traded to the Phoenix Suns, where he was reunited with his brother. Morris has played on several teams throughout his career, including the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics, and the Philadelphia 76ers. However, his brief stint with the Knicks and his time with the Clippers can be considered some of his most productive years in the league. With a career average of 12.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, Morris proved to be a solid role player on most teams he played for. Since playing with the 76ers and the Cavaliers in the 2023-24 season, Morris has remained a free story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
