Los Angeles: Detectives from the
Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood Division are
seeking the public’s help in identifying a burglary suspect.
Between November 28 and December 03, 2017, a suspect wearing a
scarf and a Santa Claus hat knocked on the front door or rang the
doorbell of residences in Studio City. When no one answered the
door, the suspect would gain entry to the backyards of the homes,
smash a rear patio sliding door or back window, then enter the
homes. Once inside, the suspect removed cash, jewelry, safes, and
firearms before leaving. A get-a-way driver has been seen in a dark
sedan.
The suspect is described as a 18-25 year old male Black. He stands
5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs around 140-160 pounds and has a
tattoo along his right jaw line.
