It appears the suspects entered the home by breaking a glass window or door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">About an hour before that, another home on Hesby Street in Sherman Oaks around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Police say a woman who was house-sitting heard commotion, looked out from the balcony and saw a man smashing a glass door in an apparent attempt to break in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">It&#8217;s unclear if anything was taken from either home. In both incidents, the suspects got away before police arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">This comes after three other homes were burglarized over the weekend in the Valley, including another home on Hesby Street. The other incidents happened Friday on Emelita Street in Encino and Ranchito Avenue in Van Nuys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Earlier this year, ABC7&#8217;s Kevin Ozebek tagged along for a security assessment on a home to find out the <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/post\/gangs-behind-many-socal-break-ins-experts-explain-how-protect-home\/18704429\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best ways to protect your home from being targeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, we&#8217;ve covered a string of home break-ins in the San Fernando Valley and beyond. So who&#8217;s behind the crime, how do you best protect your home, and are break-ins actually surging?<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Security experts say most burglars break in through ground floor windows and sliding glass doors, so consider installing a special plastic film that makes it much tougher for a thief to shatter the glass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">It&#8217;s also a good idea to keep a list of serial numbers for any expensive item you have. That could help police track it if it is stolen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Also, don&#8217;t forget banks still have safe deposit boxes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Your items and cash may be safer there than in your bedroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">And consider landscaping your property with thorny bushes. They are a great organic defense system.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 KABC Television, LLC.
