Authorities made multiple arrests after street celebrations over the Dodgers¡¯ World

Series victory devolved into a series of burglaries, vandalism and fires in some parts

of Los Angeles.

Crowds gathered Wednesday night near L.A. Live to celebrate, at times setting off

fireworks. The Los Angeles Police Department issued a dispersal order, but it took

several hours to clear the streets.

Donning blue Dodgers jerseys, hats and blankets, revelers took their celebration to

the streets immediately after the World Series championship was clinched, cheering

and dancing as fireworks popped overhead. Most of the celebrations were boisterous

but peaceful, and city officials said trouble erupted in only a few areas involving a

pocket of disorderly individuals.

In downtown, multiple businesses were burglarized or vandalized, though exact

details were not available. Police said some in the crowd were ¡°hostile¡± and threw

objects at officers. Videos showed people stealing from Nike¡¯s Jumpman L.A. flagship

store on Broadway and cars doing doughnuts at intersections to roars from

bystanders.
