From Wire Reports and City News Service:
Three women suspected of dousing two victims with gasoline and attempted to light them on fire were arrested, police said Thursday.
The three suspected gang members confronted two women about 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the 44200 block of Cedar Avenue in Lancaster, demanding a refund of their rent payment, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Michael Rust.
"The incident quickly escalated into a physical altercation (and) one of the suspects doused the victims and their clothing with gasoline, while another suspect attempted to ignite the gasoline by throwing lit matches at the victims," Rust said.
Those attempts failed and neither victim suffered injuries, Rust said.
The three attackers, and two men apparently traveling with them, tried to flee the scene in two vehicles, but deputies arrived and arrested them.
A loaded gun was found inside one of the vehicles.
The five arrested were:
- Toni Cook, 24
- Clara Landrum, 34
- Shyshin Thomas, 28.
- Johnny Polite, 57
- Willie Martin, 24.
Rust said the group faces a variety of felony charges including attempted murder and arson, as well as weapons violations.
