Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"Today, the city removed all the homeless people from the side of the boardwalk to the sand area to make sure nobody gets hurt while they cut the palm trees. I went with the German camera team to show them around. They wanted to do a story about the homeless encampments on Venice Beach. It was a beautiful day, and after all the tree trimming, it looked very nice."

May 26th SMPD officers observed a vehicle blocking traffic near Main & Olympic Drive. Upon further inspection, officers discovered the vehicle was unoccupied and in plain view spotted an alcoholic beverage and a 9mm Beretta 92FS firearm.



On May 26, 2021 Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) officers observed a vehicle with its hazard lights flashing and playing loud music blocking a traffic lane near the 100 block of Olympic Drive, thus creating a hazard for eastbound traffic. Upon further inspection, officers discovered the vehicle had its windows rolled down and was unoccupied. In plain view was an alcoholic beverage and a 9mm Beretta 92FS firearm.

Shortly after their initial observation, a male subject quickly approached the officers and explain he was in the Starbucks at Main and Olympic and only briefly left the vehicle unattended. The subject proceeded to state he did not have proper identification and subsequently provided officers with a false name.

The subject was later identified as Robert Ambriz-Garcia, a 22-year-old male from Los Angeles. He was arrested and booked for providing false identification, leaving a handgun unsecured in an unattended vehicle and transporting an unsecured firearm in a vehicle.

Sharks are known as the apex predators of the ocean, and we usually picture them as full-grown animals swimming in the deep blue. But how much do you know about baby sharks?

Baby Shark Watch is a series that follows one egg at Santa Monica's Heal the Bay Aquarium over the course of a year to show how sharks develop month by month. Tune in on the last Saturday of every month on Instagram live (@healthebayaquarium) to watch a swell shark develop, from egg to pup.


From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva, with LA County Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Services Team, surveyed the homeless situation at the Venice Beach Boardwalk on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. They walked the Boardwalk and met with business owners, residents, tourists, vendors, and those experiencing homelessness to better understand the crisis the city is currently facing."
