Los Angeles: The Los Angeles
Police Department’s Van Nuys Division Burglary detectives are
seeking the public’s assistance in identifying burglary
suspects.

On Friday, December 30, 2016 around 8:35 p.m. Van Nuys officers
responded to the 4200 block of Levitt Lane in the City of Los
Angeles for a burglary radio call. When the officers arrived they
found that the suspects had smashed a glass pane on a rear door and
reached in to unlock the door. The suspects went through the house
and stole handguns, currency, small electronics, and jewelry. The
suspects used one of the victim’s pillow cases to carry the stolen
property. The suspects fled through the rear door and met up with a
third suspect that was waiting in a dark colored Sports Utility
Vehicle.

Surveillance video cameras captured both suspects walking up the
driveway. Video footage also shows the suspects inside the
residence.

The first suspect is described as a male Black or Hispanic, between
20 and 25-years-old. He is approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and
weighs approximately 165 pounds with a short beard and mustache. He
