Recent Penmar Burglaries

Chris from Penmar Neighbors Organization writes:

There have been 3 burglaries on the 2100 block of Walnut during the past 10 days.

Be on the lookout for 3 males, 2 white and one African-American. All in their late teens to mid-twenties. All are tall and thin dressed in "normal" clothes. May be driving a blue Jetta that was last seen parked on Carlton and Louella.They appear to break in during daylight hours often in the afternoon, usually knocking on the door first and if no answer come around to the back of the property to break-in. They steal easily fenced items such as jewelery, computers, electronics, etc.

They often steal food as well and are suspected to be probably homeless drug addicts breaking into and living in construction projects and/or boarded up homes waiting for remodeling and broken into automobiles.

It is unknown how many other burglaries these three are responsible for, but at least 3 in the past 10 days in our community. If you see them do not confront them but do...

REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR IMMEDIATELY TO L A P D USING THE 911 CALL NUMBER or THE 311 CITY INFORMATION SYSTEM or 1-877-ASK-LAPD.

YOUR VIGILANCE IS OUR NEIGHBORHOODS PRIMARY MODE OF SAFETY. DON'T BECOME A "I SHOULD HAVE CALLED NEIGHBOR", BE A "I CALLED AND GOT HELP NEIGHBOR"
