Crime statistics show Encino is seeing far more burglaries than other parts of Los Angeles, with break-ins south of the 101 Freeway up 40% in the neighborhood in July.
A palpable tension hangs over Encino as news of the latest burglary spreads through the San Fernando Valley neighborhood after months of reported break-ins. It's all people seem to talk about while walking their dogs or in group text chats with neighbors. Some residents want to form a neighborhood watch, while others are taking quotes from private security companies to patrol the streets outside their multimillion-dollar homes.
And additional investigators are working with the department's West Valley Division to pursue leads on the burglaries. 'No one should have to live in fear in their own home, and our office is committed to doing everything we can to ensure the safety of all our residents,' Raman's spokesperson said. Wendling said that the media have been laser-focused on crimes in Encino and have overreported the situation, giving the impression that police are not working fast enough.
