Los Angeles:  Los Angeles Police Detectives are seeking the public’s help in identifying suspects responsible for a rash of burglaries that have been occurring in the Hollywood Hills.

On December 8, 2013, around 6:30 p.m., officers were called to a residence in the 2000 block of Mound Street to investigate a burglary that had just occurred.  Surveillance video captured suspects entering onto the property of the victim’s home.  The suspects smashed a large window door to the rear of the home. The two suspects walked in and ransacked the residence taking the victim’s jewelry.  They fled the location jumping over the fence.
