Ocean Blvd. and Seaside Way. At 6 a.m., a truck parked in a possibly secure underground garage was torched, the fifth of similar fires in the area in the past few days. This vehicle fire series broke out on August 20 in an area between the Long Beach Convention Center and Camden Harbor View Apartments along Cedar Walk. Three of the five blazes took place in the apartment complex’s parking garage. Responding authorities arrested the possible arsonist, but released him. No following fires fought or found. Despite surveillance cameras present at the complex, a resident said apartment officials have not been able to provide footage of the attacks. She believes the cameras don’t actually work and noted it would be easy for the suspect to slip into the apartment complex as many of the gate locks do not work. A Camden Harbor View Apartments spokesperson said they have since increased security measures.

Westbound 7th St. connector from the 22 Freeway. At midnight, an exhausted motorist was close to falling asleep when he noticed a similarly tired driver in a Mustang-style auto ahead of him swerving in lanes as he drove. When he went into an embankment at the side of the road, he corrected out of it, but not in enough time to avoid damaging the side of his car. He then turned onto the CSULB campus to stop and figure out where to swerve next.
