1.  CRIME REPORT & HOLIDAY SAFETY

BURGLARY FROM VEHICLE
Incident #: 170820028
10800 BLOCK LINDBROOK DR  |  12/18/2017 @ 5:00 PM

HOLIDAY SAFETY
With the holidays fast approaching, and on any other given day, the LASD would like to remind the various communities we serve to remain vigilant and help us protect your homes and that of your neighbors, by following these burglary prevention tips:

• Homeowners should make an attempt to give the impression someone is home at all times, which would include leaving a car in driveway, leaving lights on in and around the home at night.
• Noise inside the house (leave TV or radio on) to give the impression someone is home.
• Commercial security services that have become popular, inexpensive and easy to use, including but not limited to video recording devices.
• Use pets such a dog for property protection and deterrence.
• Most importantly, making contact with neighbors and looking out for one another’s homes.
• We don’t want our residents to be paranoid; however, they should appropriately suspicious of unusual vehicles or persons slowly traversing through their neighborhood.
• We encourage residents to ALWAYS and IMMEDIATELY contact law enforcement when they believe they are seeing something suspicious in the neighborhood.
• Law enforcement recognizes the value of social media, but information should not just be posted on social media without also sharing with such information with local law enforcement agencies.

Have a safe and happy Holidays!

2.  HOLIDAY GARBAGE COLLECTION

Due to the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, our offices will be closed and there will be no collection service on Monday, December 25 and Monday, January 1.

Throughout both weeks, our collection schedule will be postponed by one day. If your normal collection day is Monday, your bins will be serviced Tuesday. Tuesday collections will happen Wednesday, Friday collections will happen Saturday. On Monday, January 8, we will go back to the regular schedule

3.  CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING

LA Sanitation has curbside collection for Christmas trees to make it convenient to properly and safely recycle your tree. There are several options.

If your Christmas tree is too big to cut and place inside the green waste bin, simply place the tree next to your green waste bin on collection day.

How to Recycle your Christmas tree and put in the green bin:

1.  REMOVE all ornaments, decorations, tinsels and stand from the tree.
2.  CUT the tree into pieces, if needed, to fit into green bin.
3.  PLACE the tree pieces inside the green bin and put out for regular pick-up on collection day.

*Flock or artificial trees can’t be recycled, place them in the black container.

Collected Christmas trees will be recycled into compost and mulch that is available to residents for free.

Tree safety tips

• Buy a freshly cut tree.
• Keep the tree no less than three feet from heat sources.
• Water the tree on a daily basis.
• Remove the tree from your home after Christmas or once it becomes dry.

In addition, holiday wrapping paper, cartons, cardboard, Styrofoam® and other expanded polystyrene products, plastics and gift boxes are also recyclable and should be placed in the blue bin. However, it is illegal to place household hazardous waste, such as electronics (i.e. televisions and computers) and batteries into the collection bins. Please take those items to one of seven S.A.F.E. Centers for safe disposal and recycling.

4.  SKIRBALL FIRE UPDATE

The following is from Capt. Valadez at Fire Station #71 (at Sunset/Beverly Glen):

E-71 was one of the first Engine companies on the Skirball fire. We were on Casiano Road for 32 hours. Out of about a dozen houses or more we only lost 2, one because the trees were right to the back of the house. E-71 along with 2 other Engines saved many houses. When we arrived both sides of the street had fire and the canyons below on both sides were going into the brush, trees, cars and houses.

For more information, please take a look at the following article. Scroll through the photos at the top and bottom of the article to see many of our FS 71 crew members.

During the holiday season, many Angelenos traditionally donate money and goods for charitable causes around the world. The charities include their favorites as well as start-up charities created in response to crises. This generosity, however, produces a spike in solicitations.

Angelenos can arm themselves with methods to distinguish the honest and effective charities from the frauds and ineffective charities. The Charitable Services Section (CSS) of the Los Angeles Police Commission offers assistance and advice for giving wisely to charities.

To our firefighters at Stations # 71 and # 37,

On behalf of our Board of Directors and the members of Holmby Westwood Property Owners Association, I would like to offer our gratitude to each of you for the fantastic job you did to save our adjacent communities in the recent fires.

2.  FIRE SAFETY

This week’s nearby fires should be a wake-up call. Even though Holmby Westwood is not in a canyon or hillside area, we’re not immune from having a fire spread through our neighborhood during periods of low humidity and windy conditions.

Two months ago, a large fire occurred in a house on Beverly Glen Blvd. it is suspected that the fire was electrical and started in a walk-in closet before spreading to the attic. 63 firefighters from four stations battled the blaze from 10:0 PM to 4:00 AM. After initially putting out the fire in one hour, the fire started again.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much breeze that evening, but surrounding homes over a block away were filled with smoke. If we’d had high winds that night, surrounding homes and trees could easily have ignited from embers, which can travel a mile from a fire. Many fires spread to nearby homes by flying embers entering attic vents.

This is an LAFD reminder for all residents to have a “firewise” home. For additional information regarding ways to make your home safe as well as information regarding planning for evacuation, please click here:

FIRE SAFETY NOTE

Be safe and help to keep Holmby Westwood safe

BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 170819032
900 BLOCK HILGARD AV  |  11/27/2017 @ 11:00 PM

“KNOCK KNOCK” SERIES BURGLARY ALERT
On Monday, November 20 in the late afternoon (around 4:00), there was a series of “knock knock” burglaries in the Westwood community south of Wilshire Blvd.  It is believed that the same suspects are responsible for an additional Residential Burglary in the Westwood Hills community as well (the area west of UCLA/Veteran).

The suspects are described as three Male, African Americans, medium build, early 20’s, wearing Gray or Black Hoodies.  The vehicle is a early 2000’s silver Mercedes sedan, possible C Class, with paper plates.

These incidents are being investigated by the West Los Angeles Burglary Detail.  Anyone with additional information or leads may contact Detective Greg Davis at 310-444-1522 or email at 31554@lapd.online.

The Los Angeles Police Department recommends the below tips to help secure your home and deter a Burglary.

• If you are home when there is a knock at the door, make your presence known but do not open the door.
• Install a video/audio doorbell system that will immediately detect, alert and notify you if there is activity at your front door.

2.  VANDALISM INCIDENT – SEEKING SUSPECTS

A homeowner on Westholme reported the following:

On Nov. 11 at around 4 pm, several kids (approximately age 14-15) , one tall and one shorter, coming from the street above our house (on Westholme) used skateboards and slid on my railing (and destroyed them). They escaped down the road.

On Nov. 18 they came again around 4 pm and further destroyed the railing. A neighbor tried to chase them out but they continued and said that they are from Colorado.

I would appreciate any help in detaining this kids or finding their parents to pay for the large damage.  If you recognize them, please contact me at warshel@usc.edu or contact the LAPD.  Thank you.

3.  SECURITY UPDATE AND SSA MEETING

In case you haven’t been following Crime Mapping updates (go to CrimeMapping.com to receive notices by e-mail), you may not be aware of the crime activity in Holmby Westwood and adjacent neighborhoods (19 crimes reported recently throughout the Westwood area and Westwood Village). Besides regularly occurring car break-ins, both north and south of Wilshire, there have been five residential burglaries early in the morning and in the evening when residents have been at home. This is a change from the typical late morning/early afternoon burglaries. A recent LA Times article reported that the LAPD was accused by one of its own officers of under reporting crime on the Westside in order not to alarm residents. The LAPD has not responded.

The safety of our residents is of prime concern, not just their material possessions, but also their physical safety should they confront a burglar who realizes residents will be able to identify him or her. The LAPD feels many burglaries on the Westside are committed by gang members as an initiation ritual.

On Thursday, December 7^th, SSA Security will hold a security meeting for our community at Belmont Village, 10475 Wilshire Blvd. at 7:00 PM. SSA only hires off-duty and retired LAPD policemen who are able to make arrests and coordinate with local LAPD. They are not afraid to confront burglars at your home, and their response time average is under 5 minutes. SSA has dramatically reduced crime in Pacific Palisades.

If you are concerned about crime in Holmby Westwood, and want to know all your options, plan to attend this meeting. If you are unable to attend, you can call SSA for information: 818-773-5600.

Please note, HWPOA is not associated with SSA Security in any way and does not endorse or recommend any security company.

4.  HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS

The following Holiday Safety Tips were compiled, in cooperation with the LAPD Crime Prevention Section, to contribute to the safety and security of people during the holiday season.

The holiday season is always a special time of year. It is also a time when busy people become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime. We can never be too careful, too prepared or too aware. Please share this information with family, friends and neighbors. The Los Angeles Police Department wishes you a safe, happy and peaceful holiday season.
