Vehicle Burglaries in WeHo Last Week Fell Sharply from the Week Before

Vehicle burglaries in West Hollywood last week dropped by more than half according to the weekly report by the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station of Part 1, or serious, crimes. Between Sept. 3 and 9 there were 13 such burglaries, compared to 33 the week before that.

In a change from previous policy, the Sheriff’s Station has omitted the financial impact of the crimes. The Sheriff’s Station is hoping that by not citing the value of items stolen from parked cars, car thieves will be less likely to break into vehicles. Whether or not that is successful will be determined in coming weeks.
