Drone helps nab Newbury Park teen suspected of Thousand Oaks robbery

A 17-year-old was arrested Oct. 17 after he allegedly robbed a Thousand Oaks business and fled, before being captured with the help of a drone. Deputies with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 500 block of North Ventu Park Road around 7:15 p.m. in response to the robbery, according to a news release. The sheriff’s office is contracted to provide police services to the city of Thousand Oaks. Sheriff’s deputies spoke to an employee of the business who said that a person entered the business, made threats and gestures that he had a weapon and stole property from the store, the sheriff’s office said. The employee described the person who robbed the store, and deputies found someone, later identified as the 17-year-old from Newbury Park, matching the description at a shopping center nearby, sheriff’s officials said.

The sheriff’s office dispatched a member of the Unmanned Aerial Systems, or UAS, team to help locate the youth in the nearby brush using the drone’s thermal camera. The team operates the drones to find missing or fleeing individuals and capture

High School Coach Refuses to Apologize For Winning

Rick Clausen is not backing down from the parents who hired private investigators to dig into his Westlake High School program. The coach told the California Post on Thursday that he has zero intention of saying sorry for fixing a team that went 0-10 in 2024. He called the letter from “Concerned Westlake High School Parents” comical and stated that nothing shocks him in today’s society. This is a clear line in the sand for a coach who turned a floundering squad into a 7-3 playoff team in just two years.

A Black woman says she spent $125 at Erewhon, then a guard stopped her twice and claimed the food she paid for was stolen

Erewhon has built its name on $20 smoothies and a celebrity crowd, but one shopper says her first visit to the Culver City store ended with a theft accusation. TikTok user Janiya, who posts as @niyy_3.0 , described what she called her “shopping while Black” experience at Erewhon in a TikTok video that has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. According to the video, Janiya ordered three smoothies at the smoothie bar for $54, then picked up two hot bar plates, a side of French toast, water and ginger shots. The register screen she filmed shows a total due of $125.86. She said she ate outside, then threw away her trash, receipt included, before heading back in to ask for a bag for a half-eaten plate. Staff told her they could not give her a bag because the plate had no tag, so she dug the receipt out of the garbage. She showed it to a security guard, who then helped bag her items. However, she claimed that after she used the restroom, the same guard came back with a smaller receipt listing only three smoothies and said the hot plate was not hers. Janiya says the guard told a

Financial instability exposed in Malibu mansion development

National newspaper details unraveling of project next to city’s skatepark. The development of one of the ritziest housing enclaves in the U.S., located right here in Malibu, appears to be in financial trouble according to the Wall Street Journal. The national publication specializing in financial issues and the economy published a scathing expose Oct. 30 on Scott Gillen, the developer of five multimillion-dollar homes called “The Case” located on Malibu Road, abutting the city’s new skatepark. The newspaper claims the $500 million project is on the verge of collapse amid bankruptcy filings, mounting debt, and a legal dispute with financial partners. The WSJ report questions Gillen’s management of the project, pricing strategy, and discloses a previously unknown criminal history.

One Unfixed Apartment Could Freeze Rent Hikes Across a West Hollywood Building

In a city where about four in five households rent, protecting renters has always been a priority at City Hall. Still, tenants will say the City falls short when they’re facing displacement, waiting months for repairs or losing services they counted on when they moved in, like parking or a working elevator. On Monday, the Council approved new guidelines for how much tenants can get off their rent when those services are lost. It also moved ahead with a proposal that could take effect next July and stop a landlord from raising rents across an entire building when a serious health or safety problem goes unresolved. Getting a rent reduction and getting the work done are two different things. Take North Harper Avenue.
