Northridge, Los Angeles, CA: Firefighters found signs of an attempted break-in, instead of a reported fire at a commercial building early Friday morning, Feb. 17, on the 8600 block of Crebs Avenue in the Northridge neighborhood within the San Fernando Valley.

Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to reports of a structure fire around 3:15 a.m. at the location. However, when crews arrived, no signs of fire were found, but it appeared there was a burglary attempt on a warehouse where an apparent room full of marijuana plants was discovered at the address as seen in Key News Network video from the scene.

The front gate was located laying on the ground, and the rollup door was severely damaged by a vehicle attempting to gain access inside.

Los Angeles Police officers were on the scene investigating the incident.

CBS Los Angeles later reported the suspects ransacked the place as shown in security footage obtained by a CBS News photographer. CBS stated LAPD now has possession of the security footage as well and can be seen here .

Suspects are reported still outstanding at this time.
