Follow-Up to Arson Incident

At 4:00 AM on Thursday, 11/20/2008 a resident's car was lit on fire by an arsonist on the 3400 Block of Greenfield Ave. Just before this happened a vehicle with a loud-sounding exhaust (it sounded like a truck) left the scene. 

On Wednesday 11/26/2008 the "Animal Liberation Press Office" announced in their "press release" that the terrorist car-bombing was an act accomplished by an anonymous "animal liberation" group that calls itself "Students and Workers for the Liberation of UCLA Primates": http://www.animalliberationpressoffice.org/press_releases/pr_08_11_27_ucla.htm.
According to this announcement, the "target" was in fact a different neighbor on the 3400 block of Greenfield Avenue who works as a researcher at UCLA.  However, the "animal activists" attacked a completely unrelated and innocent person. The UCLA Chancellor issued a statement condemning this violence  by anti-animal research extremists: http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/chancellor-condemns-new-acts-of-72210.aspx.
 
One of their activists was recently brought to court thanks to the vigilance and help of the neighbors of another of the terrorists' "targets". (see: Judge holds extremist in contempt for harassing UCLA faculty
http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/judge-holds-extremist-in-contempt-69039.aspx).

This car bombing is now being treated as an act of "domestic terrorism" and involves LAPD, LAFD, UCLA PD and FBI investigators. The goal of "animal liberators" is to intimidate, scare and harm anyone whom they determine to be the "target" using "legal and illegal means" which are typical tactics of terrorists worldwide . One of the group's "ideologues", proposes killing 5-15 researchers in order to accomplish their goals (see: http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/05/local/me-alf5).

In order to help the investigation and protect our neighborhood, please report any suspicious activity, group protest or persons who might come to your house with anti-animal research leaflets to:

UCLA PD  at 310-466-8848 (24/7, Captain John Adams, mention animal rights activists)

LAPD (detective Kathryn Del Vecchio)  at 213-485-2134.
 
If you see anything suspicious please call 911 !

Apparent Arson - Car Set on Fire

TYPE: Apparent Arson - Car set on Fire in Driveway
WHERE: 3400 Greenfield
WHEN: Thursday, November 20th at 4:00am
SUSPECTS: -
CHARACTERISTICS: - At 4:00 AM this morning Thursday, 11/20/2008 there was a car lit on fire (by what appears to be an arsonist) in the driveway of a resident on the 3400 Block of Greenfield Ave. Just before this happened a loud exhaust on ( what sounded like a truck) left the scene.

The LAFD came out and then called the Arson Unit because it looked suspicious, they found a red gas container on the ground under the car. A big boom was heard, and then a neighbor saw the flames. Without the quick action of a neighbor, this could have been much worse, not only the other cars near by but also houses could have caught on fire, since they are very close and a tree overhangs the driveway

Michael Camello is the arson investigator and his office phone is 213-485-6095. He said that someone poured gas on the car.

Anyone with information regarding this crime please notify LAPD at 877-ASK-LAPD.

Attempted theft of Catalytic Converter from under car

TYPE: Attempted theft of Catalytic Converter from under car
WHERE: 3500 Block of Tilden
WHEN: Sunday morning 12:50 am
SUSPECTS: -
CHARACTERISTICS: There was an attempted theft that occurred on Saturday night/Sunday morning, November 2nd, at approximately 12:50 AM on the 3500 Block of Tilden. A resident heard a loud noise outside of their house then heard what sounded like grinding metal on metal. The resident went to the front door and didn’t see anything but the sound stopped suddenly. Then, the resident said in a loud voice, “Hello”. Just then, a dark figure came out from the street side next to the resident's SUV parked out front of their house and started walking north on Tilden. The resident yelled, “Hey” and the person starting running, then they got into a car and drove off quickly, screeching tires as they left. It was discovered that the person had tried to steal the catalytic converter from underneath the car. They had used a chain cutter and had nearly cut all the way through one of the metal pipes to which the converter is attached. When the resident took it to get repaired, the repair place advised that what they were really after was platinum and rodium, which the catalytic converter is made of, since these metals can apparently be sold for several thousands of dollars when enough is accumulated.
