A couple arrived home Tuesday night to find their back door open and residence ransacked in one of at least three break-ins and attempted burglaries reported in a matter of hours in the San Fernando Valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the call at about 11:30 p.m. in a Studio City<\/a> neighborhood. They entered the home with weapons drawn, but the intruders had left the scene.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what, if anything, was stolen No arrests were reported early Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In nearby Toluca Lake, police responded to two attempted home break-ins.<\/p>\n

One was in the 4900 block of Placidia Avenue, one block north of Camarillo Street, at about 7:30 p.m. Another attempted burglary was reported on Biloxi Avenue. Authorities are attempting to determine whether the two crimes are connected.<\/p>\n

In both cases, two people were seen looking around the property and trying to enter a home. Details descriptions of the individuals were not immediately available.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, about $120,000 in bags and jewelry<\/a> was stolen in another Studio City home burglary. <\/p>\n

The LAPD told NBC4 Investigates that a series of recent burglaries appear linked to a organized group connected to crimes from San Francisco to San Diego. The group cases neighborhoods looking for security cameras, easy access to homes and packages left outside.<\/p>\n

Speaking with NBCLA Tuesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said police patrols will increase in areas that have been targeted in the recent string of break-ins<\/a> in the San Fernando Valley. The LAPD said the department shifted its resources to add more visible police patrol vehicles with license plate scanners, horse-mounted police and air support.<\/p>\n

Since April 10, there have been at least 13 burglaries around the valley, from Sherman Oaks and Valley Glen to Woodland Hills to Porter Ranch. However,\u00a0crime data<\/a>\u00a0from LAPD shows that burglaries are actually down.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of 2026, burglaries have been down 32% when compared to the same timeframe last year. Recent trends show more burglaries are happening at homes, not businesses; Arrests have come in less than 7% of cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple arrived home Tuesday night to find their back door open and residence ransacked in one of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[3552,48,52,51,5015,47,50,49,7611,23914],"class_list":{"0":"post-280297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-crime-and-courts","9":"tag-la","10":"tag-la-headlines","11":"tag-la-news","12":"tag-lapd","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","15":"tag-los-angeles-news","16":"tag-san-fernando-valley","17":"tag-studio-city"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
