Overcrowding at a Los Angeles juvenile hall left police with young suspects in their patrol cars waiting for hours in the parking lot Tuesday, sources say.

Masked thieves hit a Los Angeles Macy’s store in the latest string of smash-and-grab robberies caught on film. Overcrowding in a Los Angeles juvenile detention facility forced cops to spend hours waiting in the parking lot within the back seats of their cruisers earlier this week, sources tell Fox News Digital – months after a riot at the same facility.

"Los Padrinos intake was never closed," a probation department spokesperson told Fox News Digital."On Tuesday, law enforcement may have experienced an extended wait period, primarily because our intake tank was full. We notified law enforcement about the expected longer wait time, but no one was turned away."Probation officials warned the courts last week that Los Padrinos had reached capacity, Fox News Digital is told. But the situation came to a head Tuesday.

The issue appeared to have been resolved by the following day, but it was not immediately clear how authorities made room.The overcrowding comes "We're seeing more and more cases with kids with multiple arrests for guns, robberies, more serious offenses up to murder," one told Fox News Digital."We want to show them that there's a consequence to your actions so that they learn, but how do you do that?"broken windows
