3. LAPD CRIME REPORT
BURGLARY FROM VEHICLE
Incident #: 190808983
WOODRUFF AV & S BEVERLY GLEN BL | 4/17/2019 @ 8:00 AM
CAR BREAK-IN STATISTICS
The below information comes from the West LA Auto Detective Supervisor. Regarding reported thefts or burglaries from all West LA vehicles last week:
- 6 crimes were very difficult to prevent such as theft of parts (plates, wheels, catalytic converters, etc).
- The remaining 27 (82%) are opportunistic. Items left visible, causing window smash and unlocked thefts.
So, this week’s Community Alert implores all of you to NOT leave any items of value in your parked vehicles. Essentially, LOCK IT, HIDE IT, KEEP IT. It may seem redundant–it has certainly become our battle-cry– but we can’t emphasize enough how even an empty bag, loose change, a jacket or a pair of sunglasses can win you a broken window and a theft or burglary from your vehicle.
4. RACCOON ALERT
A homeowner on Malcolm recently reported that raccoons have been invading their yard. Please be sure to remove all potential food sources for the raccoons and keep garbage tightly sealed. Raccoons are omnivorous, and their appetite is often the main factor for the damage they cause.
Raccoons may also tear off shingles from the roof to gain access to the attic, or take refuge inside an uncapped chimney. Raccoons like to crawl under the eaves of a roof to gain entry to the attic.
