Residents of Los Angeles neighborhood feeling 'unsafe' after multiple home break-ins
A homeowner in Mar Vista is speaking out after their house was broken into for the fourth time in five years.
The victim was at dinner with their family when the break-in occurred around 5:30 p.m. on April 20.
When the family arrived back home, their home had been ransacked. The suspects took everything from appliances to a firearm. The thieves had gone through everything, throwing the victims’ belongings around the house.
“It makes me feel pretty unsafe,” the homeowner said to KTLA 5’s Omar Lewis.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirms there were numerous break-ins in the area on April 20, and many of the victims say the burglars used the same method.
Security footage obtained by KTLA shows a woman walking up to the home with a mask on and knocking on the door. When it’s confirmed that no one is in the house, multiple men arrive moments later and smash their way into the home.

Families in California pay more for groceries than those in any other state. Now, a single fruit is being sold at a SoCal retailer that costs more than the average of $297.72 per week that households spend on food in the Golden State.
The Rubyglow pineapple is available from Melissa’s Produce for a whopping $395.99. The fruit is pinkish-red on the outside, and yellow on the inside
Only a few thousand of the expensive pineapples are produced each year by Fresh Del Monte, which sells a variety of produce.
Del Monte says the Rubyglow pineapple is a result of 15 years of research. The company had a limited amount available only in China earlier this year, before electing to bring the fruit to the U.S.
High-end consumers have become more interested in luxury fruits in recent years. Items such as Honeycrisp apples, Oishii strawberries, and Sumo Citrus have garnered strong sales, despite being more pricey than non-speciality fruits.
