Los Angeles police were called to Spring Street and Temple Street at around 5 a.m. after learning of a white bucket truck, commonly referred to as a cherry picker, that was taken by an unknown man, according to a statement from LAPD officials.
They say that the truck was parked in the area with two passengers, both LASD deputies, still in the back — one of whom was in the bucket, when the suspect got inside. As he drove away, police say the suspect slowed enough that both passengers were able to get out without sustaining serious injury.
