Los Angeles: LAPD Hollenbeck
Area Burglary Detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify
the suspect involved in a series of commercial burglaries that have
occurred in the past week in the Boyle Heights area along the Cesar
Chavez corridor.
On November 28, 2012, around 8:30 a.m. Hollenbeck Area officers
responded to a burglary investigation in the 2800 block of Cesar E.
Chavez Avenue. When officers arrived they discovered the business had
been broken into and the suspect had gain entry by smashing the glass
front door.
Video surveillance shows the suspect entered through the front door.
Once inside, the suspect can be seen going to the cash register, opening
the cash drawer and removing money. The suspect is also seen taking
cigarettes and lottery tickets. The suspect left the business through
the smashed front door panel.
The suspect is described as a 45 to 50-year-old Hispanic male with grey
hair, wearing dark clothing. He stands 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10
inches tall and weighs 150 to 160 pounds. Video can be viewed at

Anyone with information regarding this burglary or the suspect is urged
to contact Hollenbeck Area Burglary Detectives at 213-224-0117. During
non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to
1-877-LAPD-24-7 (1-877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous
should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters
may also contact Crime Stoppers by texting to phone number 274637
(C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages
should begin with the letters “LAPD.” Tipsters may also go to
www.lapdonline.org, and click on "Anonymous Web Tips.”
Patrolling the L.A. schools on a daily basis is a great idea and the implementation of that proposal should go foward ASAP. This proposed policy is Foward thinking and innovation in providing safe Policing to the people the LAPD serves. Hopefully this will be the standard other cities adopt and place into practice.
