Huntington Beach police say they cleared out homeless encampments in environmentally sensitive areas after finding the areas ridden with trash and drug paraphernalia.

There were “pollution, fires, litter, and drug use in that area, such as discarded needles, which had a significant environmental impact in an ecologically sensitive area,” Huntington Beach Lt. Brian Smith told The Epoch Times.
