Southern California cops net 141 arrests tied to internet crime against kids
A five-county enforcement effort targeting internet crimes against children netted 141 arrests, authorities announced on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
The task force, led by the Los Angeles Police Department, covered Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. The enforcement effort coincided with children returning to school. At a news conference Wednesday morning outside LAPD headquarters, LAPD Chief Michel Moore was accompanied by the leaders of numerous law enforcement organizations involved in the operation.
“This year, in 2022, already by Sept. 12, we have exceeded 25,000 tips and leads,” Moore said. “These cyber tip reports we believe will reach in excess of 36,000 by the end of this year.”
