CRIME ALERT - 4/25/2003

LAPD Pacific Area Crime Analysis Detail on WESTCHESTER BURGLARS

On Friday, April 25, between 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm a burglary occurred in the 7300 block of Dunbarton Ct. and on Tuesday, April 29, between 2:00 - 4:00 pm a burglary occurred in the 7100 block of Arizona Ave. One suspect was observed inside the yard during both incidents. Therefore, this person most likely acted as the look out while the actual burglar was inside the residence.

Similar burglaries have happened before in and around the neighborhood involving a white “van” and another car, each car occupied by two suspects. The second vehicle usually will drive around the neighborhood watching for police cars and they often use walkie-talkies to communicate with each other.

The one suspect seen in the yards and the vehicles are described as follows:

Suspect No. 1
Male, Black
HT: 6'0"
WT: 175 lbs. - 200 lbs.
Age: 25 yrs. - 35 yrs. old
Clothing: Sweatsuit

Vehicles:
- Light colores, square SUV or Van
- Off white Cadillac Escalade
