VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES () — A man was taken into custody Thursday morning after a small plane that was stolen from a flight school slammed into an exterior wall of a hangar at Van Nuys Airport, authorities said.
The white Cessna 172, which never got airborne, was apparently taxiing on the tarmac when the collision occurred around 5 a.m. Whether anyone was seriously injured was unclear.
Video from AIR7 showed a hole in the single-story hangar’s wall where it was struck by the plane’s nose.
Los Angeles Airport Police told Eyewitness News that the suspect — identified as Ceffareno Michael Logan — trespassed onto airport property and gained access to the aircraft.
“LAXPD immediately responded and took subject into custody,” read a statement provided to 7.
Logan was arrested and booked for burglary and theft of an aircraft.
Both the FBI and LAXPD are investigating.
Van Nuys Airport is a general aviation facility operated by Los Angeles World Airports.
