SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B325488 (Super. Ct. No. FJ57776) Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County)

v.

K.S.,

Defendant and Appellant.

K.S. appeals orders of the juvenile court sustaining the jurisdiction allegations in a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition, declaring her a ward of the court, and reinstating her on supervision. We conclude that sufficient evidence supports the finding that K.S. aided and abetted a second degree commercial burglary, and affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY After midnight on June 17, 2022, a group of people broke into a cannabis cultivation business on Bradley Avenue in Los Angeles. The owner of the business, Ming F., was alerted to the

break-in by his alarm system and live-feed surveillance cameras. He estimated that approximately 11 people were on his property. Ming F. saw that the metal gate to the parking lot had been cut open with power tools. He also saw people cutting open the locks on the side door of the building and a person smashing the bullet- proof glass on the wall, entering the business, and opening doors from the inside. Ming F. called the 911 dispatch operator as he watched the rampage on his surveillance cameras. Suddenly, everyone left the building through the parking lot and dispersed. Ming F. estimated that the total loss to his property, including the property damage, was approximately $17,415. He was unable to identify any of the people entering his business or their vehicles. Ming F. saw a person entering the passenger side of a vehicle parked directly in front of the metal gate that had been breached. The passenger ran “from the direction” of his cannabis business. K.S., the driver of that vehicle, took off “right away” when the police arrived. Ming F. was unable to identify K.S. as the driver. When responding Police Officer Sabrina Martinez arrived, she parked directly behind a burgundy-colored Honda sedan driven by K.S. that was parked directly in front of the breached metal gate. The engine of the vehicle was on and its headlights were off. Martinez saw a male “running from the business” and enter the passenger side of the vehicle. He followed the vehicle which drove away quickly after the passenger entered the vehicle. K.S. drove at a high rate of speed, drove through red traffic lights, swerved through driving lanes, and eventually collided with a traffic light pole. K.S. then left the vehicle and ran
