Woman arrested near burning car after allegedly slamming into Los Feliz businesses
A woman was arrested after allegedly crashing into a pair of Los Feliz businesses and then fleeing the scene early Sunday morning.
The incident took place around 12:30 a.m. when a vehicle drove into The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and the Yen Sushi & Saki Bar businesses located in the 2300 block of Hillhurst Avenue.
Video showed windows were shattered and the front door was bent at the Coffee Bean store. Workers had already arrived to board up the Yen Sushi and Sake restaurant.
An employee for Yen Sushi and Sake said the driver appeared to intentionally drive into the buildings and even put some of their belongings in front of the restaurant before possibly trying to light them on fire. A gas can was apparently found at the scene.
Police have not confirmed those details but did say they received calls about a vehicle crashing into businesses.
The suspect left the scene but was apparently found a few blocks away next to a burning car on Los Feliz Boulevard.
