NEW VIDEO: Burglars And Bike Thieves Hitting Between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. In Venice


The thief above broke into a basement of an apartment building on Pacific and stole goods. Local videographer Tony Vera was a victim and provided the video of the thief. He remained on the property for over a half an hour. Video is below. Also, last week a known duo that includes a male in his 20′s with dark hair, and a heavy set female stole a bike from Breeze and Royal Ct. They have been filmed pilfering and damaging property at other locations. They are typically on the prowl at 5 a.m. around Venice, and carry a very very large pair of bolt cutters that go through anything other than a Kryptonite style lock. If you recognize any of these people, or have similar types of thefts please call LAPD Pacific Division at (310)482-6334

Report Leads To Narcotics Arrest In Venice Beach Neighborhood

In late April we received a report from a reader through our Grime & Crime reporting feature about narcotics activity in a home across from the readers home. We forwarded the report and specific information to LAPD and are happy to relay that the lead generated from this report led to a significant arrest, and they are going to continue to monitor the area for continued activity.

This reflects how important and productive it can be to be aware of what is going on in your immediate neighborhood, and reporting anything that seems suspicious. Apparently there is an upsurge in PCP use and issues lately at the beach. PCP results in users being extremely combative, crazy and delusional. Very dangerous situation.

Thank you aware reader!
