THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

B.G.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Irma J. Brown, Judge. Affirmed.

Arielle Bases, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Defendant and appellant, 16-year-old B.G., appeals from the juvenile court’s order continuing wardship (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) after sustaining a petition alleging he unlawfully drove or took a vehicle in violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a), a felony. In part because B.G. was on probation at the time he committed the offense, the juvenile court placed him in Camp Community Placement for a period not to exceed three years eight months. B.G. filed a timely notice of appeal. We affirm the juvenile court’s order. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 1. Facts. On January 4, 2014, Jose Salinas Jimenez’s 2007, green, Nissan Frontier with a California license plate bearing the numbers 8G34725 was taken from his Long Beach home. In addition to his truck, “[a] laptop, $10 in change, . . . a sweater or sweatshirt” and a key to the truck were stolen from Jimenez’s residence. When Jimenez was asked if he had ever given B.G. permission to take his truck, Jimenez responded, “No.” When Jimenez was then asked if he had ever seen B.G. before, he again responded, “No.” At some point in early January 2014, 16-year-old D.L. had been riding in the back passenger seat of a truck being driven by B.G. After B.G. had picked up two additional passengers, the truck was “pulled over” by police. B.G. stopped the truck, then told D.L. and the other two passengers, “ ‘We got to run.’ ” On January 6, 2014, Los Angeles Police Officer Christopher Lopez and his partner, Rodrigo Lopez, were on patrol near the intersection of Grape Street and 101st Street when they conducted a traffic stop of the green, Nissan truck with license plate No. 8G34725. As the officers pulled behind the truck, it “just stopped.” Officer Christopher Lopez ordered the driver, B.G., as well as the passengers, to get out of the truck. The two officers then interviewed D.L. who told them that, as they were being pulled over, B.G. had stated, “ ‘Man, we got to run, this is a G-ride.’ ” Officer Christopher Lopez then explained that a “ ‘G-ride’ ” refers to a stolen car.
