Overview
- Los Angeles police say up to seven masked men entered a Calvert Street home around 5 a.m. Thursday in a hot-prowl burglary and fled before officers arrived.
- Security video showed several people carrying large bags to waiting vehicles, and aerial footage captured a duffel with what appeared to be rifles outside a shattered glass door.
- Investigators connected the Woodland Hills break-in to a North Hollywood property, prompting a search-warrant operation with SWAT, armored vehicles and helicopters on Kling Street.
- LAPD detained multiple people during the raid, and the department has not announced suspects, charges or what, if anything, was stolen.
- Police initially probed a possible kidnapping tied to the burglary, but later said no kidnapping occurred; residents reported the intruders shouted “Police!” as they forced entry, and no injuries were reported.
