LOS ANGELES, California — Authorities in California said they are searching for a sea lion pup kidnapped by a group of people on a Los Angeles beach.
The Los Angeles Police Department said a witness told investigators two men and two women were seen harassing a pair of pups at Dockweiler State Beach about 3:30 a.m. Sunday and the group allegedly threw objects at the animals, including trash and cinder blocks.
The witness told police the group retrieved a blanket from a car and wrapped one of the sea lions before leaving with the animal in a black Honda Civic.
