Between January 19, 2017 and April 9, 2017, a series of residential
burglaries occurred in the Boyle Heights Area. The burglaries
occurred early in the morning between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. while
the victims were sleeping. The suspect(s) would enter the residence
through an unlocked door or window. The suspect(s) would then go
through the rooms in the house and take the victim’s

feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing between 150 to 200 pounds in
his early 20s. Another suspect has been described as a male,
