LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Two suspected gang members were behind bars today on suspicion of stealing about $200,000 worth of jewelry from a home in West Los Angeles, a sheriff's captain reported.
Ashton Carter of Los Angeles and Jason Willis of Inglewood were arrested Monday afternoon in an `upscale'' neighborhood in West L.A. when they allegedly came out of a home carrying two Gucci bags, according to sheriff's Capt. James Ritenour.
Sheriff's detectives watched Carter and Willis before they went into the home and pursued them when they came out with the bags and got into a rented car, Ritenour said.
Carter jumped out of the car and ran, but detectives caught both Carter and Willis, Ritenour said.
Detectives recovered about $200,000 worth of jewelry that had been taken from the home, he said.
Carter, 26, and Willis, 21, were held today at the sheriff's Temple Station in lieu of $50,000 bail each, according to jail records. They were scheduled to appear at the airport courthouse on La Cienega Boulevard some time this morning.
Ritenour said detectives are looking other similar burglaries and encouraged anyone with information to call the sheriff's Major Crimes Bureau at (562) 762-7019.

Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. That vast stretch includes the Angeles and Los Padres national forests.

The Heat goes on and on, The Heat goes on and on
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A red flag warning signifying a high risk of wildfire was issued today for the mountains of Southern California because of high heat, very low humidity and bone-dry vegetation.
Highs once again will reach triple digits in some Southland areas, although the warmest temperatures are expected Thursday through Saturday, and ``a few temperature records could be broken,'' according to an NWS statement.
Even before the red flag warning went into effect, a wildfire broke out Tuesday afternoon in the San Gabriel Canyon section of the Angeles National Forest and had scorched more than 600 acres by this morning.
The National Weather Service said the red flag warning would be in effect from 6 a.m. today until 9 p.m. Friday in the mountains of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties -- an area that includes the Angeles and Los Padres national forests.
Forecasters blamed the region's newest heat wave on a strong upper-level high-pressure system now over southern New Mexico and expected to reach the Southland by Friday.
``This, in combination with weakening onshore flow, will result in continued warming and drying during the next few days,'' according to an NWS advisory.
During that time, mountain areas will experience 10 hours per day or more of single-digit humidity levels, with little improvement occurring during overnight hours, according to the NWS.
``The combination of long-duration single-digit humidities, hot temperatures and critically dry fuels has prompted the issuance of the red flag warning for the mountains of Southwest California,'' the advisory said.
Valley areas also will be very dry over coming days, but the humidity levels in the valleys are not expected to fall enough below the norm to warrant red flag warnings, according to the NWS.
``The long-duration heat event could pose health hazards for anyone outdoors, especially for the elderly, small children and pets,'' the NWS said in a statement, urging residents to drink plenty of water, wear loose-fitting clothing and stay out of the sun as much as possible.
``Never leave children or pets in cars with the windows up or cracked during the day, even for a very short time, as temperatures can quickly reach lethal levels,'' the statement said.
Some subtropical moisture could return to the region over the weekend, which could send humidity levels back to two-digit territory, although it will remain hot.
The NWS forecast highs today of 83 in Avalon and at LAX; 92 on Mount Wilson; 93 in downtown L.A.; 95 in Long Beach; 98 in San Gabriel and Burbank; 99 in Pasadena; 100 in Lancaster; 101 in Palmdale; 102 in Newhall; and 104 in Woodland Hills.
Temperatures will be even higher Thursday and Friday, return roughly to today's levels on Saturday and begin falling -- by around 5 degrees in some areas -- on Sunday, except in the Antelope Valley, where highs will be in the low 100s through early next week.

U SCREAM, I SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM
I guess one ice cream truck is all the city of El Segundo.
City Councilman Bill Fisher said, "I just want to make sure we're doing the right thing and have the right controls in place, and that (vendors) know what the grounds rules are.''
The hold up is over whether another ice cream truck will take away business from local sport vendor who sell ice as a fundraising method.
We will just have to wait to see, how this plays but at least in El Segundo they are tackling the big issues facing the city.

CAR CRASH IN RIVERSIDE
Four people were injured today near downtown Riverside when a stolen SUV crashed into another vehicle, police said.
Police were following the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder around 2 p.m. when they saw it run a stop sign on Cedar Street at University Avenue and crash into a westbound Chrysler PT Cruiser that was on University, said Riverside police Lt. Chuck Griffits.
The PT Cruiser went off the road and rolled on its side in the yard of a home on the corner, Griffits said.
The driver of the Pathfinder and all three people in the PT Cruiser were taken to a hospital, but none of the injures were considered serious, Griffits said.
The Pathfinder had been reported stolen earlier today in Monterey Park.
The driver, Adrian Sandoval, 28, of Monterey Park, was expected to be arrested on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle, reckless driving causing injury and violating parole, Griffits said.
