Note:
There are a couple of noteworthy arrests that are worth mentioning. The folks of Westridge and Mandeville Canyon received a nice holiday present early on Christmas morning in the form of two arrests of burglary suspects — due to the quick actions of Westridge residents, who called in to the police and to the Palisades Patrol, an early morning car crash that had occurred on the 2100 block of Westridge. Palisades Patrol Security responded to the service call and checked the area for what was described as two males in dark hoodies involved in the crash. They observed the two suspects approximately 100 yards from the crash site. It appeared that they were leaving the scene. Palisades Patrol detained them and called for the police.
When LAPD officers arrived, they conducted an investigation and discovered the suspects had tools consistent with the commission of burglaries and that there was considerable property in their crashed rental vehicle that was possibly stolen. Both suspects have extensive criminal histories.
This was a great cooperative effort by the community, Palisades Patrol and the LAPD police/detectives, all working together toward the substantial arrest of two suspects with long criminal histories. Great job.
Another arrest, and one that is being processed as I type, is the arrest of a man today who was allegedly stealing mail/packages from doors and lobbies in the Brentwood area. He turned out to be on Federal probation for mail theft and had a history of committing identity theft and fraud. In his possession were ‘master type’ keys that were able to access multi-unit complexes and their postal boxes. He is also believed to have a methamphetamine habit. He will be ultimately booked by the Feds and faces some serious time. It is a great arrest by our hard working officers. Having mentioned this arrest, it’s a good time to remind folks that although you report incidents of mail theft/fraud after the fact to the Federal Postal Inspector, please call 911 immediately if there is any crime in progress, including mail theft, and hopefully we’ll be able to put more of these bad guys (and gals) in jail.
Thank you and may you all have a wonderful and SAFE New Year and celebration!!!
