Mar Vista Crime Report

Crime Trends, News, & Prevention Tips

August has been the third consecutive month where property crimes have decreased, largely due to less vehicles broken into, and property taken. Also, there have been 13 or 14 burglaries a month compared to the 17 to 22 burglaries per month the first half of the year. The violent crimes have mostly disputes between people who know each other, whether domestic violence or a neighbor or roommate dispute.

Still, be mindful of protecting yourself and your neighbors against residential burglaries.

To help deter a residential burglary, when leaving your residence for the evening, turn on the lights in the front room and close the shutters/curtains giving the impression someone is home. If there is a television in that front room, turn it on with the volume higher than usual to deter potential burglars approaching your home. Play music if you have a stereo system. Burglary crews are disabling the electric panel in the backyard to cut off alarm systems and disable home security cameras.

Consider hiding your electric panel by placing something in front of it, such as a ladder covered with a tarp in front of it, or pot with a plant. Place Beware of Dog signs on the side gate. Visit the local pet shop to purchase a large dog leash to tie on the side gate handle to give the impression of having a dog.
