Detectives Thursday were attempting to locate victims in a series of auto burglaries in West Los Angeles and West Hollywood following the arrests of two suspects.

For the complete story, please CLICK HERE.

More than 130 pieces of stolen property with an estimated value of $15,000 to $20,000 were recovered.  Detectives have identified some of the property as belonging to victims from West Hollywood, Culver City, Glendale, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. They’re attempting to identify additional victims of vehicle burglaries to return the property to their rightful owners, Bishop said.

Anyone with information about the burglaries were urged to contact West Hollywood Station sheriff’s Detective Leist at (310) 358-4021.

Architect Kenneth Korman was raised in Westwood and attended Fairburn, Emerson and University High, and has a Bachelor of Architecture from UC Berkeley.  Jann Williams holds a Masters of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, has her own practice as an Architect for residential, institutional and commercial projects, and is a founding member of the Westwood Neighborhood Council Steering Committee.

Design Review Boards play a crucial role in promoting orderly, attractive and harmonious development, and these members have given countless hours to ensuring a very high design and architectural standard for Westwood Village.
