As officials at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach report some progress clearing a backlog of shipping containers at the terminals, local police and residents of nearby neighborhoods say they are continuing to see trailers dumped on their streets.

Long Beach Police officers have cited unattached trailers loaded with containers parked along city streets over the past several months, according to department spokesman Brandon Fahey. These trailers are parked mostly along the west side of Long Beach, in and around industrial areas, Fahey said.
