A video of a gang of teenage e-bikers beating up a man near the Hermosa Beach Pier until one of them yells "he's dead, he's dead" sent waves of outrage through the tight-knit coastal community this week. On Wednesday, the Hermosa Beach Police Department announced that it had identified five juveniles involved in the attack. Their ages range from 13 to 15. Two who are accused of being the primary aggressors in the incident are under arrest.

Residents have been stumped over a patch of bubbles rising out of the ocean off the coast of Hermosa Beach this week, prompting several beachgoers to speculate at what exactly is under the surface and causing the water to spume. Videos of the bubbles, visible between 33rd Street and Longfellow Avenue, spread on social media, with commenters offering a variety of wild and not-so-wild theories. Neighbors stood on the street in the rain, gazing out into the ocean, wondering what was causing it.

A former employee of the School of Dance and Music in Hermosa Beach has been arrested for child molestation and possession of child pornography after hidden cameras were found in restrooms.
