Story summary

On Friday, three individuals were arrested by officers from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) at Angeles National Park in Los Angeles County, after being tipped off about illegal hunting activities. During a patrol, the officers observed two vehicles off-roading and using spotlights to hunt deer illegally and dangerously. Upon stopping these vehicles, they found blood on the suspects' clothing and hands, leading them to discover guns and two female deer — both headless and skinned — inside black trash bags. The suspects admitted to killing the deer unlawfully and trying to hide evidence, resulting in their arrest; however, they were released under an agreement to appear in court.
