1.  LAPD CRIME REPORT

COMMUNITY ALERT

Protect your home from Residential Burglary. A common MO that has been occurring is suspects who typically knock or ring the doorbell to verify if the resident is home. When there is no answer, the suspects enter the side or rear of the residence and force entry by smashing the window or door glass to gain entry. Suspects are targeting the master bed and bath areas of the home and removing Jewelry and small electronics.

If you are home when someone knocks on the door or rings the doorbell, announce yourself to let them know that someone is home but do not open the door unless you verify who they are and you know the person at the door.

Another Burglary trend that has been occurring is construction thefts and break ins. Items of value being targeted are construction tools, equipment, appliances and building materials. If you observe after hours suspicious activity at a construction site or major remodel location, call 911 immediately!

Burglary Theft from Motor Vehicle:
Manning Ave/Lindbrook Dr. RD: 0828. Between 9/24/14 and 9/28/14, unknown suspect(s) smashed window of car parked on street and removed Laptop, sunglasses, GPS, and cell phone.

2.  FALLEN TREE AT DALEHURST/WYTON

Earlier this week, a large Aleppo Pine tree fell at the corner of Dalehurst and Wyton.  The Bureau of Street Services sent an emergency crew to remove the tree as quickly as possible.  Dalehurst residents have been concerned about these trees and our association had a meeting with residents and LA City Street Tree Division several years ago. The Allepo Pines have reached maturity. Residents will consider their options and the homeowner association will assist them once any decision has been made.

3.  WEST LAPD FUNDRAISER EVENT

Please join Sharon Stone, Jimmy Smits, Wanda DeJesus, Rod Martin, PACT, and many other supporters on Saturday, November 1, 2014, for West LA Night, at the historical Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and funds for the West Los Angeles Community Police Station’s youth programs, and the police officers who “protect and serve” the Holmby Westwood residents each day.

PACT (Police and Community Together) is asking for your support of this event. We’ve proudly supported the West Los Angeles Community Police Station for over 43 years; however, we need your help as a sponsor and/or attendee.

The evening will feature static displays by various Los Angeles Police Department entities, such as SWAT, Bomb Squad, the K-9 Unit, as well as local West LA businesses. Expect one of a kind, silent and live auctions that will amuse and entertain you.

Sponsors for this event will be featured on the West LA Night website (www.WestLANight.com), at the event, and on social media. It is anticipated that more than 300 people will attend this worthwhile fundraiser.
