UDATE from local neighbor:
I did stop by just a couple of moments ago, and it looks like I’m off by one block. The correct intersection is 5th just south of Brooks.
“When I came upon the scene a few hours ago, a woman came out of her home, clearly distraught. I asked her if the cars were hers and she said that they were. Between the three cars, I counted 10 flat tires and two smashed windshields. I asked permission to take pictures and share them with community watch groups, and she said that would be OK. Funny thing was, she asked if Venice311 was one of them. YES, she’s heard of you and you are reaching the people!
I wanted to ask more information, like if she had any recent run-ins with the groups of kids that hang out in that area, or if she had any recent conflicts with her neighbors. She said she was calling the police at that moment and I could only assume that they would ask those questions once they arrived.”
Sometime between Thursday and Friday this week (4/21-4/22) several cars all parked in front of the same residence were vandalized. The perpetrators took a cement block and smashed the windshields, and slashed the tires. Nearby residents believe this was a specifically targeted event, possibly relating to the area where the vehicles were parked. One vehicle was parked in a handicapped zone withe appropriate placards.
If you have any information please call LAPD Pacific Division at 310-482-6334, or send email here and we will forward the information to the appropriate parties.
Extremely uncool. Thanks to reader Kent for the information and photos. If you are familiar with this area and know anyone within a few blocks that has cameras that can be reviewed for any pedestrian activity, please LAPD or us immediately.
