The Port of Los Angeles handled 855,652 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in January, the second-best start to the year on record. Eclipsed only by the pandemic-induced cargo surge in 2022, it was the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year increases and surpassed January 2023 by 18%.

Officers with the Los Angeles Port Police Crime Unit today arrested three individuals in connection with multiple occurrences of stolen bronze plaques throughout the Harbor and greater Los Angeles Area. The subjects were arrested during a traffic stop in Southwest Los Angeles.
