On the evening of the 19th November 2024, the Los Santos Fire Department received reports of an overturned cement truck, on fire, in Idlewood. Upon arrival at the scene, the cement truck was on the roof, and was bursting with flames. A fire engine arrived shortly after the reports, geared up to tackle the blaze. The cement truck was also blocking the road, causing serious traffic disruptions. Firefighters from the Glen Park Station worked tirelessly as a team, to extinguish the fire. Without the dedicated firefighters, this blaze could’ve spread to neighboring buildings and businesses. Shortly after the fire department setup attack lines for the fire, officers from the LSPD arrived at the scene to establish a perimeter. They also worked to understand the cause of the fire, along with anybody responsible. Statement From Brian Allen, LSFD Firefighter We spoke to Brian Allen, the firefighter on scene about the situation. He said; “Speed is key! Two simple words. Speed kills. I haven’t investigated the vehicle yet, but apparently the cause of fire is some electrical fuses going bad.” Most importantly, he said; “Speed is key! Speed Kills.”. Solid Approach From LSTS Following the negative publicity towards Los Santos Traffic Services, they responded to this incident quickly and got to work straight away.

On the 19th November 2024, a SWAT unit accompanied by officers raided the garage on Wilshire Boulevard. This garage was linked to the individuals and vehicles used in the crime. Just a few hours after the initial attack, officers arrested an individual leaving this garage on one of the suspect motorcycles. The LSPD managed to continue investigating the lines of enquiry and all three were arrested as a result. However, in an attempt to capture evidence, other related vehicles or even people linked to the organized criminal group, or OCG for short, they raided the garage without prior warning. We witnessed one officer force the front door open with a door ram, with his team running into the building as a matter of urgency. From leaving the police station on perishing square to raiding the garage was a matter of minutes. The team moved quickly, and with precision. The Information Currently On the 17th November 2024, a male was shot on Ganton Avenue. This was shortly after a homicide situation at the Ganton Gentlemen’s Club. The male was walking on the sidewalk when three dirtbikes stopped in the road. With several males getting off and firing shots from a handgun at the male. This resulted in death on scene, with EMS confirming the death shortly afterwards. The three males on the dirtbikes fled to a garage on Wilshire Boulevard, where they stored the vehicles and any evidence. Shortly afterwards, the police got a 911 call from a local business owner, stating that he had saw several motorcycles and individuals in this garage. Within minutes, Detective Ramirez along with several officers attended the garage. They found a motorcycle leaving the garage containing two of the males, which took chase across the city. However, shortly after that motorcycle left the garage, another one came out. He was using one of the motorcycles from the crime, in the same clothing. The Los Santos Police Department along with Detectives detained this male at the garage, and arrested him following the crime. Other officers were also able to arrest the other linked individuals that same evening. 0 0
