Police took a naked man into custody early Friday morning after a 93-year-old woman heard loud noises and bangs underneath her home in El Sereno.
The grandmother, who lives alone, had been telling her family for months that she was hearing noises under her house. Her grandson said he thought it was probably an animal.
Around 9 p.m. Thursday, the family heard the loud popping noises underneath their grandmother’s house on Locke Avenue, near Huntington Drive, and decided to call the police.
When Los Angeles police officers arrived, they found a man under the house who refused to come out for hours, the grandson told KCAL News. He said officers used gas to finally get the man to surrender around 4:30 a.m.
The woman’s grandson said officers found blankets and food under the house, and they suspect he entered at night and left in the morning. The Los Angeles Police Department called the incident a “barricaded suspect.”
