suspects.

On January 2, 2017 at 5:50 p.m. Van Nuys officers responded to the

burglary radio call. When officers arrived they found that the
suspect entered the location by climbing onto the second floor deck
and kicking in the glass door. The suspect reached in and unlocked
the door. Once inside the suspect took a small safe, a handgun,
miscellaneous papers, and jewelry. The suspect then dragged the
safe and property down the stairs and out the front door where the
getaway car was waiting for him.

Surveillance video cameras captured the suspect inside the
