At least three people are in custody after a harrowing home invasion in a San Fernando Valley neighborhood that residents say has been targeted by burglars multiple times in recent weeks.
Residents of Greenleaf Street in Sherman Oaks say there have been at least four or five incidents in the area in the last two weeks.
"Officers who were already in the area surveilling, patrolling the area, were able to locate the vehicle," said LAPD Lt. Elpidio Orozco. "They followed the vehicle to a location in Compton." Eventually three people were arrested and police say all three were already on supervised release for prior offenses. The suspects were identified as Isaiah Rankins, 22; Juan Carlos Gonzalez, 21; and Dion Hill, 24. All three were booked for robbery home invasion and bail was set at $175,000 each, including enhancements for prior burglaries and supervised probation for firearm possession.
"This is the highest level of brazen crime I've ever seen in my entire life," said Saurabh Jain, who lives in the Greenleaf neighborhood. "And I grew up in Queens, New York."
