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 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).

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.
