burglary spree

A prolific thief told police 'you're lucky I'm not grooming girls' during his arrest for a £19,000 burglary spree, as reported in a court hearing. The case highlights the individual's criminal activity and a controversial remark made to law enforcement.

A man was indicted on 82 counts following an alleged burglary spree in 2024, during which he stole more than $40,000. The charges are related to a series of break-ins he allegedly committed.

The NYPD is seeking public assistance to identify a man who allegedly committed three burglaries in Queens and Brooklyn between May 24 and May 30, with over $100K stolen. The crimes primarily occurred in the Cypress Hills area of Brooklyn.

Burglars targeted a home in the Lake Balboa neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley, with residents finding their front door open upon returning home. The Los Angeles Police Department reported the incident occurred around 10 p.m. Friday night at the 7000 block of Shoshone Avenue.

Police responded to four more homes overnight as burglars continued a weekslong wave of break-ins across the Los Angeles area. Over a dozen homes have been targeted since the crime wave began earlier this month, with KTLA reporter Omar Lewis reporting outside a Studio City home that was broken into.

Two new residential burglaries were reported in Sherman Oaks and Westwood, marking a shift southward of a San Fernando Valley burglary spree. The LAPD confirmed an overnight incident on Westholme Avenue in Westwood, where police were called shortly after midnight.

Two more homes in Los Angeles, including one in the San Fernando Valley, were burglarized overnight as part of an ongoing burglary spree. The first break-in occurred in the 4900 block of Strohm Avenue around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, involving two masked men using a ladder and prying open a window.
