Hot Prowl Home Burglary

TYPE: Hot Prowl Home Burglary (resident home at time of break in)
WHERE: 3500 block of Veteran
WHEN: 3:15 pm Friday, July 30th
SUSPECTS: African-American male in 20's
CHARACTERISTICS: At approx. 3:15 PM Friday (7/30/2010), a young (20-something) African-American male was seen running/escaping from the front door of the house on 3500 block of Veteran Ave.

An elderly female resident who was alone in the house heard the young man knock on her door and the windows, apparently to ensure no one was home. She did not answer the knocks.

Meanwhile, the intruder went through the back gate and into the house through the kitchen, with the elderly home-owner still in the house. As the intruder ransacked the house starting in the living room, she, the resident, slipped out quickly out of the front door and went to a neighbor across the street for help.

Meanwhile, another resident and her daughter were driving home on the 3500 block of Veteran when the daughter saw the intruder run very fast out of the house, across the yard and south to Charnock Ave. from Veteran Ave.

The intruder was carrying two unidentified long objects in his hands. He then escaped into another property on the same block of Veteran. The resident of this house and the lady who witnessed this incident from her car searched around the house but could not find him. They called 911.


Note: If someone knocks on your door that you do not know, you do not need to answer but probably should make it known someone is home. It you are concerned, tell them through the door you have already called LAPD and they should leave.
