VENICE -- Authorities in Venice have removed about a dozen RVs from one neighborhood after complaints about human waste being dumped on the street.
City crews cleaned up the area around Rose and Third avenues Tuesday night after receiving complaints from Venice residents and activists.
The city then made the owners of about 12 RVs move them out out of the area.
A local activist said as "Boston Dawna" said no one was cited. She said the RVs were back in the same spots by Wednesday morning.
A woman who allegedly uncapped a sewage tank on an RV on Pacific Avenue near Fleet Street, letting waste spill out as her partner drove the vehicle, was arrested over the weekend.

Venice residents have apparently complained about the RV dumping issue for years.
They're currently trying to circulate petitions to get "no oversized vehicle parking" signs put up. They're meeting with resistance from the city council, according to some activists.
The California Coastal Commission has declined to get involved in the matter.
