CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. (KABC) — Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies appeared to be assisting as crews began clearing a homeless encampment at an RV storage lot in the City of Industry on Thursday.
The agency said deputies were on scene “monitoring the situation” while property owners cleaned up the area. No arrests were made.
About 50 RVs that are supposed to be vacant have been broken into and turned into a place to stay for the homeless. There have been fires and vandalism at the storage lot.
The lot is located near Azusa and Gale avenues and is leased out to multiple people, including the RV company Black Series and the Nissan dealership across the street.
“People just started coming in, taking ownership of them, and they started vandalizing them, living in them, breaking windows,” said Gerardo Torres, who works at the Nissan dealership.
A judge recently ordered the lot cleaned up.
A statement from city manager Joshua Nelson said in part:
“The City has been working diligently with the owners of the property and the Industry Sheriff’s station to resolve the issues at Gale and Azusa Avenues. The city does not own the site. This is a private trespass dispute between the property owners and a private party. The City is working with the property owners in helping to coordinate cleanup efforts at the site.”
