West Los Angeles Burglar Steals Tools Worth Thousands of Dollars

February 17, 2010

Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department West Los Angeles Area detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a man who broke into an apartment complex and stole valuable tools.

On February 7, 2010, at around 4:37 a.m., a man gained access to an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Bentley Avenue using a pry tool. Once inside, the suspect walked to the underground parking structure, entered a storage unit belonging to the manager of the complex, removed tools from the unit, and left the building. The stolen tools were worth around $10,000.

The suspect is described as a male Hispanic between 20 and 30 years old. He stands between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall and weighs around 150 to 185 pounds. He was wearing a white t-shirt, with blue jeans and black Nike sneakers.

The suspect is believed to be responsible for numerous auto burglaries and bike thefts in the West Los Angeles vicinity. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call LAPD’s West Los Angeles Burglary Detective George Bowens at 310-444-1522 or 310-444-1524. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crimestoppers 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 LAPDOnline.org, click on “webtips” and follow the prompts.
