Woman intentionally rams car into taco restaurant in Canoga Park, police say

CANOGA PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) – A woman was taken into custody Friday night after she intentionally drove her car into a taco restaurant in Canoga Park, according to police.

A video taken by passersby showed the car repeatedly driving forward and backward, destroying everything in the store.

The shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. at the Tacos Reyes restaurant near Saticoy Street and Topanga Canyon Boulevard.

Police told Eyewitness News that officers noticed the woman repeatedly backing into the building and ramming it.

The woman, whose identity was not immediately released, had previously been arrested for vandalism of one of the restaurant’s catering trucks, according to police.

Bailey Thompson worked at a bar next door and quickly realized the danger that was unfolding there. She rushed to her customers and colleagues to ask them to leave the building.

“She was just backing up and slamming into all kinds of walls,” Thompson said. “So we share a wall with them, so she started slamming into our wall.”

People flagged down police officers who were patrolling the area, who surrounded the woman, fired non-lethal shots and arrested her.

No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.
