Mayor Bass Orders Increased Police Patrols in San Fernando Valley Following Home Burglaries
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has directed the police department to increase patrols along Ventura Boulevard in response to a series of residential burglaries in the San Fernando Valley. Over the past week, six homes have been targeted, with no apparent connections between the incidents. In one notable case, a Hollywood Hills resident was assaulted by burglars. Additionally, actor Dylan Sprouse apprehended a suspect on his property, although the individual did not enter the home. The Los Angeles Police Department is deploying additional patrol vehicles, utilizing mobile license plate readers, and collaborating with specialized divisions to investigate high-value burglaries.
