Valley Family Awoken By Burglary In Progress, Suspects At Large: LAPD

PANORAMA CITY, CA — A pair of burglars are at large after breaking into an occupied San Fernando Valley home Sunday night, according to police.

The call came in at 10:50 p.m. from a home on the 9500 block of Cedros Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The two suspects — men wearing black hoodies — entered the home and shouted at the residents, but did not make physical contact with them.

The family was asleep at the time of the invasion and were woken up by the suspects footsteps, CBS Los Angeles reported.

The burglars fled with an unknown amount of jewelry, purses and a cellphone, KTLA reported.

Since April 10, there have been at least 23 break-ins or attempted burglaries in and around the San Fernando Valley, NBC Los Angeles reported.

Another incident occurred Sunday night, when three suspects were captured by police in Burbank. Police say the suspects may be responsible for at least some of the recent Valley break-ins.

Mayor Karen Bass last week said the LAPD is deploying additional resources to address the incidents.

That includes extra patrols, deployment of high-visibility LAPD vehicles, utilization of license plate readers in areas at high risk of burglaries, helicopter support and more.
