Public Safety and Crime Prevention Info
Snapshot 12/16/2013 to 12/22/2013

 

During the past week, Zone 3 had seven reported part one crimes.  Here are some details regarding some of those incidents:

A shoplifting / burglary incident was reported from the Walmart on The Old Road.  This incident occurred on Monday, December 16th 2013, at approximately 2:30pm.  One suspect entered the store while the other stayed in the car outside.  The suspect was seen leaving the store with about twenty DVD’s .  He got in the car and the two suspects drove away.  Deputies later arrested two 25-year-old males in connection with this incident (ref – 16958).  Both suspects stated that they lived in the San Fernando Valley.

A shoplifting / burglary incident was reported from the Walmart on The Old Road.  This incident occurred on Tuesday, December 17th 2013 at approximately 1:30pm.  A 17-year-old female from Newhall was detained  for taking two IPhone covers and failing to pay for them (ref – 16993).

A residential burglary was reported from the 24900 block of Constitution Avenue.  US Currency, 20 pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes, and a diamond ring were reported stolen.  The victim reported his apartment was ransacked.  No signs of forced entry into the location were found.  (ref -17077).

A petty theft / shoplifting incident was reported from Stein Mart on Pico Canyon Road.  This incident occurred on Friday, December 20th 2013, at approximately 2:40pm.  A 54-year-old female from Castaic was arrested after she allegedly stole $7 worth of merchandise (ref – 17132).

A shoplifting / burglary incident was reported from the Walmart on The Old Road.  This incident occurred on Friday, December 20th 2013, at approximately 9:00pm.  A 33-year-old female from Los Angeles was arrested for allegedly returning a stolen item and receiving store credit, with which she “purchased” tank tops and pens totally just over $10 (ref – 17148).

A shoplifting / burglary incident was reported from the Walmart on The Old Road.  This incident occurred on Sunday, December 22nd 2013, at approximately 7:00pm.  A 23-year-old male from Tuscan, Arizona, was arrested after he selected $572 worth of camping equipment, including a tent and a Coleman stove, and left the store without attempting to pay for the items (ref – 17224).  He said he planned to go camping after Christmas, but didn’t have any equipment.

As you remember, last week I spoke about a 1988 pickup truck that was reported stolen from Zone 3.  The vehicle was recovered by officers with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) – Foothill Division.

I hope you have a great holiday season.  If you are going to consume alcoholic beverages, plan to have a designated driver or use public transportation. Never drink and drive.
