(KGET) &#8212; Three people were arrested and 13 tons of debris and trash were removed during a cleanup operation along the Kern River, Bakersfield police officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Several agencies and community partners coordinated an enforcement, cleanup and outreach operation in the area of the Kern River corridor between Calloway Drive and Highway 99 on Oct. 21. Police said city officials received multiple complaints for that area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Officers found 17 encampments and four illegal dumping sites during the operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Three people were arrested on applicable charges, one was allegedly found in possession of a large fixed blade knife and a dog was taken to the Bakersfield Animal Control, according to the police department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Flood Ministries conducted outreach and contacted 19 people experiencing homelessness. Police said five people accepted the offers of assistance and 14 declined. Ultimately, the five people who accepted the offer did not receive services because they declined further assistance or left before transportation could be arranged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
