2. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 230810888
10700 BLOCK LINDBROOK DR | 6/14/2023 @ 9:21 PM
A resident on Lindbrook reported that their home was burglarized on Wednesday evening, June 14 at approximately 9:45 PM. Two suspects jumped over the wall, broke a window and pepper-sprayed the family dog (please note, the dog is OK now). No one was home at the time and the suspects took a number of valuable personal items. The homeowner believes there may have been a third suspect driving a getaway car. In addition, the homeowner noticed that last month, there were two suspicious cars in the area — a burgundy Honda and a white Kia with tinted windows. There was also a well-dressed man on-foot taking videos of the houses on the block. It is unclear if these cars or the man are connected to the burglary.

Incident #: 230810954

Los Angeles County Department of Public is committed to training 500,000 Los Angeles County residents Hands Only CPR (HOCPR) by December 31, 2023!
Hands-Only CPR focuses on the first few minutes following a cardiac arrest. Chest compressions move oxygen through the body to keep the brain and other vital organs alive, which will help buy time until an ambulance or other emergency help arrives.
Trainings will be held through Los Angeles County, including sporting events, entertainment venues, churches, college and school campuses, worksites, malls, and other places throughout LA County communities. Nearby locations include:
Palisades Library
June 27th
2:00pm – 4:00pm
