After being closed for more than a year because of the pandemic, Knott’s Berry Farm’s Soak City water park reopened for season pass holders Saturday. The water park will reopen to the public May 29, but capacity will be limited each day to manage social distancing.

A face covering is required except while in the RelaxZone, dining at a table or bench, or when experiencing water attractions or pools.

  • ANDERSON, Calif. — Multiple firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition were recovered in Anderson, Calif., following a tip and subsequent investigation that led to an illicit cannabis cultivation operation and underground bunker. Following an approximate month-long investigation, members of the CHP Northern Division Warrant Service Team executed a search warrant at the property on January 20. During the search, officers discovered an underground bunker accessible through a 100-foot-long culvert. The bunker was equipped with power, ventilation, a concrete floor with built-in drainage and the necessary supplies to cultivate marijuana. In addition to the bunker, officers seized 13 firearms, four soft body armor vests, 30 high-capacity magazines, and approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds. Among the seized firearms were a sawed-off shotgun, three AR-15 style assault rifles, one with an obliterated serial number, and two firearms reported stolen in 2016 and 1978 respectively.
