Neighbors remain on edge as burglars dressed as gardeners are targeting homes in San Bernardino County. On Dec. 5, surveillance video captured two masked men in a black SUV approaching a Rancho Cucamonga home on Stoneview Road at around 4:22 p.m.  “It looks like there’s someone who drives up from the front,” a neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, told KTLA. “My understanding is they also broke into the house from the inside [first.]” The neighbor said the suspects were dressed as gardeners or maintenance workers. “I believe they were monitoring the residence because of how quickly it happened, how familiar they were, how they were able to get in and out very quickly,” he said. After parking in the driveway, the first suspect steps out and opens the car trunk. The second suspect opens the home’s garage door from the inside.

Officers are searching for a Riverside County pair who allegedly abused 18 dogs and are wanted for felony animal cruelty, according to animal control officials. Animal Friends of the Valleys (AFV) announced Friday that Sandrine Casterra and Philipp Durand violated bail conditions after their Oct. 7 arrest and have since been fugitives on the run. Casterra and Durand allegedly posed as animal rescuers, AFV says, and they operated their business at the Wooden Nickel Ranch on Holland Road in Menifee. Durand purportedly promotes himself as a renowned rescuer under the name “Wonder Earth Rescue.” In 2023, officials say the pair failed to comply with a pre-seizure order requiring veterinary care for the rescued animals in their care. Animal control officers then executed a search warrant at the ranch and found 18 dogs living in “deplorable conditions.” The dogs were chained in a feces-covered shed with no ventilation, no running water or proper care, according to officials. “Our officers worked tirelessly for months to bring these animals to safety, some of which were so badly abused and neglected that they could not be saved,” said AFV

The stare burns hard and clean, with an undercurrent of malice that you’d be a fool to miss. And then there’s another man, also with cold eyes, who gives off the stink of unmet expectations, marital dysfunction and alcohol. The first character, the real-life white supremacist Robert Jay Mathews, is played by Nicholas Hoult, itself a surprise when you consider the actor’s overall likability, something he hasn’t been able to shake since his cherubic turn in 2002’s “About a Boy.” But it’s that second performance, a frowsy FBI agent named Terry Husk, that really stuns you, because it’s Jude Law, going darker than ever. “There’s something about you, coming in here, having these talks around the kids,” a mother tells Husk at a party where he’s already several beers deep. “I don’t like that,” she concludes. “You scare me.” This is a person she’s barely met, but what she senses is enough. “The Order” is about these two taciturn men coming face to face, told with a pared-down tension that, decades ago, made stars out of actors like Charles Bronson. It’s also about a string

It’s December, but wildfire season is not over yet in Southern California. An unusual warm weekend followed by dry conditions and gusty Santa Ana winds is expected to bring elevated fire danger to Los Angeles and Ventura counties next week. Both counties are under a fire weather watch from 10 a.m. Monday until 6 p.m. Wednesday because of moderate to locally strong winds and very low humidity, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service anticipates upgrading the watch to red flag warnings sometime over the weekend. Above-average temperatures are forecast everywhere other than the coast this weekend, with highs in the low 80s. On Monday, moderate Santa Ana winds are expected to sweep through Los Angeles and Ventura at 20 to 35 mph, with gusts reaching between 35 and 50 mph. On Monday night, localized wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph are predicted for the western San Gabriel, the Santa Susana and western Santa Monica mountains, bringing an even higher risk of fire, according to the weather service. There is a strong likelihood of widespread single-digit humidity on Monday and Tuesday, and

For millions of Californians, the dream of owning a home is simply too far out of reach, so renting is the only option. As of October, the average single-family home costs around $888,000, according to the California Association of Realtors, and a typical condominium will cost you around $670,000.

Nunca es tarde para lograr algo. Eso es al menos lo que pensó Ángela Álvarez, quien, en junio del 2021, cuando tenía ya 94 años, lanzó el primer álbum de su carrera, que llevaba su nombre y contenía 15 temas. La placa fue publicada de manera independiente (a través de Nana Album LLC) y no hubiera causado probablemente mayor revuelo si es que su productor, Carlos José Álvarez, quien era además nieto de la artista, no hubiera decidido presentarla ante la Academia Latina de la Grabación con la intención de que compitiera en el evento del Latin Grammy. La Academia no solo la consideró, sino que decidió otorgarle a la ilustre dama el premio del 2022 al Mejor Artista Nuevo, es decir, una categoría que, por razones naturales, se inclina casi siempre hacia los jóvenes, aunque incluye a veces a exponentes que llevan ya buen tiempo en la industria. La victoria tardía pero merecida de doña Ángela, que fue compartida debido a un empate con Silvana Estrada, de solo 25 años, provocó una mezcla de admiración y de ternura que se vio acentuada cuando ella
