Overview
- Two masked men broke into a home on the 4200 block of Denny Avenue around noon Friday after homeowners watching their cameras texted neighbor Steve Calabro.
- Calabro says one suspect blasted him with bear spray as they fled, and he photographed the pair and a white Kia sedan with blacked-out windows with the plate he reported as 9JZZ583.
- LAPD says officers responded to reports of a burglary and assault with a deadly weapon and opened an investigation that includes the images provided.
- Police report no arrests in the Studio City case, and detectives are still assessing possible ties to other recent break-ins across the region.
- The incident fits a weeks-long pattern of organized, daytime hits in the San Fernando Valley that triggered extra patrols and mobile license-plate readers, and police urge residents to save video for investigators rather than confront suspects.
