LAPD NEEDS YOUR HELP:
Palisades Senior Lead Officer wrote “we’ve seen a significant increase in thefts – either construction tools or copper wiring from construction areas. I have been in communication with detectives looking at the crime trend and some ways we can deter them. As you all know the Alphabet streets and most of the Palisades are sitting in the dark (literally). There is minimal to no lights in the evenings, which give these criminals the cover of darkness to roam around unseen.”
LAPD is asking residents to consider placing solar lights around one’s property and possibly place cameras that face the driveway or street. Residents should tell construction crews to place all tools and building materials in difficult places to reach and to GPS tag all big-ticket items (equipment, tools, appliances) so if they are taken, police have the ability to track them.
