Homeless Person Terrorizing Venice Pier Finally Removed



From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Friday, January 3, 2025, a multi-agency task force conducted a scheduled cleanup operation beneath the Venice Beach Fishing Pier, targeting ongoing safety and sanitation concerns in one of Los Angeles’ most visited public spaces. The coordinated effort brought together several departments, including the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles Park Rangers, the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors and specialists from Clean Harbors Environmental Inc

During the operation, Park Rangers encountered a homeless individual sleeping beneath the pier alongside a large quantity of personal belongings and scattered debris. When informed that he needed to vacate the area, the man expressed frustration but eventually gathered some of his items and departed, leaving behind a significant amount of trash. Sanitation crews promptly moved in to clear the remaining debris, ensuring that the area was thoroughly cleaned."
