Homeowners in leafy enclaves hit by burglars zeroing in on high-end homes for smash-and-grab scores

NEWYou can now hear Fox News articles. A growing wave of residential break-ins across Los Angeles County has raised alarm among residents, and prompted a surge of police resources. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that she had directed the LAPD strategically to deploy additional patrols on Ventura Boulevard in response to a string or break-ins at neighborhoods such as Sherman Oaks Encino and North Hollywood. “The safety and security of every Angeleno are my top priorities.” Bass said that the City had zero tolerance for recent burglaries. Residents deserve to feel safe, especially at home, and we’ll continue to provide the resources needed to keep them safe.

Officials at the time emphasized that while overall crime statistics were on the decline, targeted crimes such as break-ins continued fueling fear in the affected communities. In 2025, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell stated that “our hearts go out to families who are grieving this senseless death.” We understand that, while crime statistics may be down, the fear and hurt it causes are very real. The department took a “all-hands on deck” approach to combat organized burglary, increasing patrol visibility at night, using license plate readers and air support, and working with regional tasks forces.

Police are also urging residents in the area to take basic security precautions as crimes continue. The LAPD North Hollywood Division reports that residential burglaries are on the rise in the area. They urge homeowners to make sure their security cameras are functioning, to keep windows and doors closed, and to notify a neighbor or a security company if they are planning to be away for an extended period.
