Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department’s West Los Angeles Division detectives have released details regarding the arrests of four burglary suspects in the Cheviot Hills area of Los Angeles.

On September 4th, 2024, around 2:30 p.m., the victim, who was on the second floor of his residence, heard a noise and went downstairs to investigate. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, the victim observed three males dressed in dark clothing standing outside a shattered window. The suspects noticed him and immediately fled towards the front of the property.

During the investigation, officers obtained a photo of the suspects’ vehicle from a witness. A few hours later, officers observed a black Cadillac Escalade with the matching license plate from the witness photo. Officers initiated a brief vehicle pursuit when the suspects failed to pull over. The pursuit ended when the Escalade crashed into the back of a parked box truck in the West Los Angeles area.
