Probation Dept. Lifts Lockdown at Los Padrinos, Suspect Apprehended

LOS ANGELES — On July 13, about 11:56 a.m., security personnel at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall apprehended an individual outside the facility attempting to throw contraband over the wall. As a precautionary measure, the facility was placed on lockdown and visiting was canceled.

The department’s campus safety and security operations, along with the SEO K-9 Firearms teams, conducted a thorough sweep of the entire facility for additional contraband. The lockdown was lifted at 4:33 p.m..

The safety and security of the youth in the departments’ care is of the utmost importance to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which noted it maintains a zero-tolerance policy for contraband. Anyone caught attempting to bring prohibited items into the facility will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
