12/16/20 LAFD and LAPD were dispatched to a traffic collision at the intersection of Roscoe blvd. and Tampa ave. in the city of Reseda, California around 6:15pm. I spoke with a gentleman who was waiting for the bus and witnessed the accident. He saw the dark gray convertible Mercedes-Benz car traveling north on Tampa. When the convertible was about to cross the intersection, the white Toyota who was traveling south on Tampa ave. tried to make a left turn on Tampa. The convertible burst into flames after hitting the traffic light pole. The drive of the convertible was transported to a local hospital. I spoke briefly with his mom, she said that she didn't know her son's condition. But she was told he was conscious and talking. I couldn't find the driver or passenger of the white Toyota car. Speed might had been a factor in the accident. Full video of traffic accident on my youtube channel

Man with a gun

Today (10/9/20) around 11:00am I heard the LAPD helicopter flying over my location. I proceeded to turn on my police scanner. And I heard LAPD responding to a call of a man with a gun in the Canoga Park area (Valerio st. and Remmet ave) just 2 blocks from my location. Upon arrival to the scene LAPD officers had 1 Afro-American on the ground, and 1 Caucasian male not complying with the officers commands. A few minutes later after officers de-escalated the situation both  males were detain for questioning. One of the officers approached me and  explained that the Afro-American male had in his possession one of those lighters with a gun handle. The Caucasian male was briefly detain for interfering with the officers. Both males were released minutes later.

Bait Car or Stolen Car

 Are criminals getting smarter ? If in fact this was a "bait car" the LAPD has failed miserably. 2 people that work nearby told me that the truck has been parked there for 2 weeks. I was told that a patrol car already took pictures and ran the license plate yesterday (10/2/20), but the car wasn't tow. Truck location Roscoe and Pendfield. I wonder if this is some kind of gang initiation.

Car Accident in Panorama City

 Only happens in California. I was on my way to work, when I saw this accident and I went back and took a few pictures. I don't know if the truck was spray painted before or after the crash. Nobody had any information about the accident. It's possible that it happened at night. Even the tow truck driver was like "What the fuck". (Roscoe and Ventura Canyon)

Man shooting into air investigation in Reseda, California

7/9/19 LAPD responded to a call around 9:57AM at 6839 ave in Reseda, California. Someone reported a person shooting a gun into the air. At my arrival to the area, 3 police cruisers were already at scene. 2 in front of the house, and 1 in the alley. Air support (air 10) used the PA to tell the suspect(s) to come out of the house. A few minutes later 2 senior citizens came out out of the house (mother and son). I overheard the man that was detained telling the officers that he had a rifle. After searching the house the man was detained and taken to the police station for questioning. I didn't see any officer take any gun or riffle out of the house. One of the officers told me, that it was just a big misunderstanding. I believe the man was in possession on an air rifle. I spoke with neighbors and told me that they didn't hear any gunshots in the area.
