LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say they have arrested six of ten individuals suspected of committing dozens of residential burglaries in Southern California. At a news conference Thursday, the ten suspects were described by investigators as hardcore gang members with criminal records. Police allege the suspects committed home burglaries targeting gold, jewelry, and cash. “Typically, I think it’s eye-balling from the street. The house looks nice, well-kept, maybe nice vehicles in the driveway,” said an undercover detective sergeant. He explained that a good haul is anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. That very same day, he says, the suspects are accused of turning their haul into cash through a jewelry store or a place that gives cash for gold. “It’s an easy crime to commit. People won’t be home. They typically won’t have a violent encounter,” the sergeant said. The suspects are accused of targeting affluent areas, like Claremont, La Crescenta, San Marino, Sherman Oaks, Simi Valley and Pacific Palisades. Six people suspected of being part of the group were in custody, while four are outstanding. Police believe the crime spree, detectives allege, has been going on since March of 2015. The suspects are accused of working in groups of three and sometimes as many as ten. They are suspected of traveling to these affluent areas in high-price luxury vehicles in order to blend in. Once there, police say they knock and when no one answers, they either enter through the back or kick in the front door.

NEWPORT BEACH (CBSLA.com) — A golden retriever with a 46-pound tumor abandoned at a local beach now has a chance at a better life. Wednesday marked the fifth day since the dog named Henry had surgery to remove the mass. He now weighs 78 pounds, which is quite a difference from a week ago. The tumor made walking difficult for Henry, who had been abandoned on the beach in Newport back in May. Before and After (credit: Newport Beach Police Department | CBS) Valerie Schomburg, an animal control officer, named Henry and says she knew he deserved better. “Everybody who has seen him has kind of taken up a [sigh] ‘Oh, my Lord.’ But the whole time, he’s trying to give you kisses and wagging his tail and so that kept us going for the time until we can make a decision,” she said. Even veterinarian Karla Nichols who was taken aback by the size of Henry’s tumor. She didn’t charge for much of his care. Schomburg got Henry a $500 grant for his bills. “It was already very difficult for him. It was very obvious that his right front leg was having a hard time supporting his weight so we knew we had to do something for him,” Nichols said. “And he was such a sweet dog. I knew we had to do something for him.” As soon as Henry heals, which Nichols anticipates will be in a couple of weeks, he’ll need a loving home. Animal control officers are investigating this as a case of neglect. They are reminding pet owners that it is illegal to dump your animal. Those who can’t afford to get care for a sick pet may receive assistance.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — State officials are preparing to embrace an expanded California electorate on Tuesday as nearly 18 million registered voters head for the polls or turn in early ballots in the state’s presidential primary. A surge of 650,000 new voters less than two months ahead of the June 7 primary sets up a potentially big turnaround from the historically low turnout of 2014. Before polling stations opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday, more than half of all people who cast ballots in the last primary had mailed in or dropped off early votes. The drawn-out contest for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders has driven an uptick in voter registrations. California is typically not a player in the presidential contest with its primary so late in the election season. But it’s unknown whether those people will show up on election day or mail in their ballots. “It’s certainly easy to register to vote,” said Orange County registrar of voters Neal Kelley. “It’s harder for people to get out and go cast a ballot.” Although only one statewide initiative appears on the primary ballot, petitioners have turned in signatures for 20 more initiatives they hope to get on the Nov. 8 ballot. Counting those signatures and processing voter registrations has strained county election offices, some of which had to hire temporary workers to handle the workload. The Field Poll predicts that two-thirds of voters will cast ballots by mail. Kelley, who’s also chairman of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials, said the increasing number of voters who cast their ballots by mail could relieve polling stations on Tuesday. If not, Kelley said, “election officials generally come through in the pinch.” About 4.1 million California voters this year are Latino, 1.6 million are Asian, and 800,000 are black.
