Multiple businesses burglarized during street takeovers in Bellflower and Lakewood
Several businesses in the Bellflower and Lakewood areas were burglarized on Saturday near the locations of two different street takeovers, deputies said. The first sideshow was reported a little before 2 a.m. near Artesia Boulevard and Woodruff Avenue in Bellflower, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. At the same time, an AM/PM in the 1200 block of Artesia was burglarized, deputies said. Surveillance footage from the convenience store shows the moments that some of the participants in the nearby takeover begin to run through the front doors, jumping over the cashier's counter and ransacking shelves. At one point, one of the suspects can be seen throwing something at the employee inside as he tries to fend them off from entering the store. The group then moved to a beauty store nearby, shattering the windows at the business' entry. A short time later, at around 2:15 a.m. in Lakewood, deputies said there was a second street takeover in the 2700 block of Del Amo Boulevard. Investigators did not have information on any burglarized businesses near the second takeover, but CBS News Los Angeles obtained video from inside a phone store showing a group of suspects ripping display phones off their hooks. "I just want the people that did this to be caught," said the store's owner, who says that there were about 15 people inside of the store during the burglary. No arrests have yet been made, according to LASD, who said it's unclear if the separate incidents are connected to the same group of suspects.

L.A. cops retract ‘offensive' social media post sympathetic to Iranians
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department apologized for a social media post expressing sympathy for Iranians impacted by U.S. and Israeli bomb strikes. The nation's largest Sheriff's department posted a message Sunday assuring residents that law enforcement was exercising vigilance following a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities late Saturday that risked putting community gathering spaces domestically at risk for reprisal. According to copies of that note preserved online, the original version also said: 'Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.' It was quickly edited Sunday evening to cut out that part. An apology was issued later that night. 'We are issuing this statement to formally apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media post recently posted on our Department social media platforms regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran,' the apology said. 'This post was unacceptable, made in error, and does not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the Department.' The department's mea culpa statement confessed the original post 'fell short' of public official's expectations to keep communities accurately informed and promised to learn from 'this failure.' Officials also said an internal review was underway to find out how and why the statement was published. U.S. forces targeted three Iranian nuclear sites Saturday with what appeared to have been precision strikes meant to stop the Middle Eastern nation from developing a nuclear weapons program. The White House believes Operation Midnight Hammer was hugely successful. It followed an Israeli military campaign to defang Iran that began June 12. The U.S. and Israel have consistently stated the world would be less safe if Iran had atomic bombs. The Trump administration has said the operation wasn't intended to be an act of war against Iran.

LA cops forced to delete ‘offensive' post about US strikes on Iran and admit it was ‘unacceptable' in lengthy apology
LOS Angeles police have been forced to delete a social media post about the Iran conflict that they called "offensive and inappropriate." Cops issued a lengthy apology for speaking out on the issue and falsely suggesting people were killed after the US launched airstrikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran. 5 5 The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shared condolences for the "tragic" bombing in a since-deleted post on X on Sunday. An original version of the post read, "Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. "While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners." No deaths have been confirmed in the US airstrikes on Iran. A few moments after the post was shared, it was edited to remove mentions of Iranian victims and families. The statement was also edited to say police were "closely monitoring the situation overseas." Then, the post was deleted entirely after backlash from social media users, some of whom called the message "embarrassing" and "pathetic." LASD then shared an apology for the post. "We are issuing this statement to formally apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media post recently posted on our Department social media platforms regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran," police said. "This post was unacceptable, made in error, and does not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the Department. Inside Operation Midnight Hammer: How Trump carried out unprecedented Iran attack using decoys in 37-hour covert mission '"As a law enforcement agency, we do not comment on foreign policy or military matters. "Our mission remains solely focused on protecting public safety and serving our diverse communities." The department said it launched an internal review to figure out how the post was created and published. Police also said they're working to strengthen their social media policies and "ensure that any future communications align with our Department's standards of professionalism, respect, and accountability," the apology added.

We appreciate the continued trust of our community and will work diligently to reaffirm that trust every day. Source: LASD The LASD hasn't returned The U.S. Sun's request for comment. It comes after Los Angeles law enforcement officials are already facing backlash for how they handled anti-ICE protests in the city, which saw violence and looting break out earlier this month. The demonstrations were peaceful at first, but escalated after President Donald Trump sent in the National Guard as some rioters lit self-driving vehicles on fire. Cops and local politicians were slammed for failing to keep the peace during the rallies. 5 5 CONFLICT IN IRAN The LASD's original post about Iran was shared just hours after Trump entered the conflict between Israel and Iran on Saturday night. He sent American warplanes to target Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. It's unclear if there have been any casualties in the attack, but Trump said the sites were "obliterated." He wrote on Truth Social after the strikes, "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. "All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. "Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" Iran has warned that there will be consequences for the strikes.
