In Sherman Oaks, residents faced disruption when a tow truck driver attempted auto theft, leading to a chaotic incident captured on a Nest camera. The driver, who previously rang a doorbell for a parked pickup, sped off carelessly with the truck unsecured, resulting in it crashing into another vehicle and knocking down a utility pole. The LAPD is investigating this as a hit-and-run and theft, while Power Department restored outages affecting local residents. Thankfully, no injuries occurred, highlighting the neighborhood's safety amidst the chaos.
The incident, which the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating as an attempted auto theft and hit and run, was captured on a Nest camera around 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The tow truck driver jumped into the vehicle and sped off, but without securing the load, according to the resident.
It's so lucky that nobody was out when all of this happened.
Before the crash, someone had watched the tow truck driver stop and ring the doorbell of a home where a dark colored pickup was parked.
