On Saturday night, a group of young people engaged in vandalism in downtown Los Angeles after attending an illegal rooftop concert. The gathering, which drew hundreds and was widely promoted on social media, spilled into adjacent areas, leading to significant disorder, including spray painting a train. Owners and local businesses are now left dealing with the aftermath, raising questions about the need for stricter regulations and enforcement to prevent similar incidents. Police are actively seeking to identify suspects from video footage of the vandalism.
The incident marked another troubling incident as downtown tries to recover from the pandemic.
The events had been widely advertised on social media, said Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Lillian Carranza.
A punk band played on top of one of the warehouse-style buildings that were being used without the owner's knowledge.
Some were dressed to party, wearing pink platform heels and cat ears, according to video shot by news outlet OnScene.TV.
