Overview
- Break-ins were reported Monday night on Topeka Drive in Tarzana around 7:40 p.m., on Ostrom Avenue in Encino about 8:20 p.m., and on Alonzo Avenue shortly before 11 p.m.
- In some cases residents were home and scared off intruders, while other homes were empty; no injuries were reported and no arrests have been made.
- Police say the Alonzo Avenue address was the only location where property was taken, though what was stolen and its value remain unclear.
- In one incident three people entered through a back door and fled in a getaway car, and police have not released descriptions of the suspects or any vehicle.
- Investigators are examining whether the cases are connected, with security video from the Ostrom home and reports of two vehicles at multiple scenes under review, and a Woodland Hills business break-in is being checked for a possible tie.
