Burglary

A note from Los Angeles Police Department Senior Lead Officer for Pacific Palisades Brian Espin: “Looking at the map we are only showing two burglaries. The other crimes are reported through the online reporting system, so we are not able to show them on the current mapping system we are using.
After meeting with detectives, the burglars that are terrorizing the West LA area are using different tactics to scout a neighborhood and homes. The burglars have been seen wearing worker-type clothes like construction vests, hard hats and masks to try and conceal their identity. So let’s be vigilant and keep an eye out for our neighbors.
It’s not a crime to be walking around in construction-type clothes but just be aware and be visible on your street to be a deterrence to criminal activity.”
