Overview
- The LAPD, which responded to a Valley Glen home Wednesday night on Vanscoy Avenue, found a shattered rear door and evidence of a break-in after the suspects had already left.
- Two homes were hit minutes apart Tuesday in Valley Village and nearby, with video showing burglars fleeing in a dark car as security cameras at one house went offline.
- Over six days since April 11, police recorded at least five break-ins across the Valley, including a Hollywood Hills case where intruders assaulted a resident who suffered minor injuries and fled in a gray Hyundai.
- Detectives are reviewing surveillance and witness accounts to determine whether the cases are connected to each other or to a recent weekend spree, and no burglary arrests have been made.
- Police report 156 burglaries this year in the North Hollywood Division, down 45% from this time in 2025, yet residents describe ransacked rooms, cut power, and broken glass that have left neighborhoods on edge.
