More rock throwing

Accidenthere A few weeks ago, some men threw rocks off a Pomona freeway overpass, causing injuries. Now we have this case out of Canyon Country:

After weeks of investigation, three teenagers were taken into custody on suspicion of committing more than a dozen rock-throwing attacks in a Canyon Country neighborhood, sheriff’s officials said today. The juveniles allegedly lobbed rocks on at least 15 different occasions in the 25300 block of Camp Plenty Road. Several people reported being hit, but no one was seriously hurt. "These type of attacks can be particularly dangerous," said Sheriff’s Capt. Jacques A. La Berge. "One of the rocks narrowly missed striking a 2-week-old baby." The attacks began in May, and the suspects stepped up their activity in early July, according to Sgt. Darren Harris of the Santa Clarita sheriff’s station. The department’s Community Interaction Team conducted several covert operations involving bicycle patrols over the last several weeks in an effort to apprehend the perpetrators, he said. Deputies, including a team in a helicopter using infrared technology, took the suspects into custody last night, Harris said. (CNS)
