Authorities say the suspect and another culprit set fire to 15 trash cans, but only one suspect was apprehended, and the other remains at large. The following day, two suspects ignited a cardboard box, ruining a park bench.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>In January of 2021, a fire broke out in a homeless person\u2019s tent, which spread to a nearby two-story building, according to KABC. The building was destroyed despite efforts from one hundred firefighters, and now, the owner is suing the city.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, a baby and her grandmother were allegedly attacked by a homeless woman on the boardwalk when the vagrant demanded the grandmother fork over the baby, Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/crime\/2022\/01\/24\/la-homeless-woman-hurls-coffee-infants-face\/\">reported<\/a>. The mother of the child and daughter of the grandmother, Katy Gross, says the woman took her mother\u2019s coffee and hurled it in her baby\u2019s face. Thankfully, the beverage was not very hot, and Gross says the woman was arrested.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>In August, the city moved 200 people from an encampment on the boardwalk, but shortly after,&nbsp; tents quickly started popping up in the area again.<\/p>\n<p>The effort was headed L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin\u2019s office. Venice is situated inside Bonin\u2019s district, and residents have been critical of the councilman. One resident, Dave turner, previously suggested the removal of vagrants from the boardwalk did not do enough to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey cleaned up the immediate boardwalk right here so people can claim victory but there\u2019s people out in the sand, there\u2019s people three blocks away and now it\u2019s repopulating everywhere,\u201d Turner <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/venice-homeless-encampments-homelessness-los-angeles-tents-returning\/11431426\/\">told<\/a> KABC in January.<\/p>\n<p>Ryavec says there are 70 homeless individuals currently camping on the beach, according to KABC. Police and sanitation remove vagrants from the area every Thursday, but Ryavec says the city needs to do this three times a week to see improvement.<\/p>\n<p>An attorney representing the Venice Stakeholders Association sent a letter to multiple city offices last week, \u201conce again pointing out the dangers, and warning that continuing to ignore the overnight camping problem in Venice could lead to expensive legal payouts,\u201d KABC reports.<\/p>\n<p><span> \u201cIt\u2019s illegal to camp on Venice Beach,\u201d Ryavec said. \u201cAnd we want that message established by enforcement of the rules that exist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A community association in Venice has warned the city of Los Angeles of potential multimillion-dollar lawsuits if the city continues to not adequately address homeless encampments in the community.
