Apartment Burglary in Wilshire Area Caught on Camera

Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department's Wilshire Area detectives are asking for the public's assistance in identifying the suspects responsible for an apartment complex burglary that was caught on surveillance video.

On Thursday, January 15, 2015, around 5:00 a.m., two suspects entered the apartment complex in the 600 block of Masselin Avenue in the Wilshire Area. The suspects entered through the front door by using a key left for the US Post Office mail carrier.

The two suspects entered the apartment building's lobby and went down to the parking area. They are seen returning again to the front door and entering the lobby at which time they took iPads from the lobby area and fled the location.
