Five Residential Burglaries in Four Days

Two of five residential burglaries last week happened on Halloween last Thursday, according to a Manhattan Beach Police Department report. In four of the five cases, a burglar entered the home through an unlocked or open door, window or garage.

On Halloween, sometime between 2 and 10:01 p.m. in the 1100 block of Lynngrove Drive, a suspect entered the home through an unlocked French door and ransacked the bedrooms, taking foreign currency.

The, on the same night, sometime between 7 and 10:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Harkness Street, a suspect used an open window to enter a home and ransack the bedrooms. The loss has yet to be determined, said police.

In a burglary last Friday sometime between 5:30 and 9:45 p.m. in the 1300 block of 21st Street, a suspect shattered the first-floor dining room window to enter the home and ransack it. A camera was reportedly taken.

An open second-floor window was the entryway for a suspect who ransacked bedrooms, but apparently did not take anything. The incident occurred last Saturday in the 1500 block of Voorhees Avenue sometime between 9 a.m. and 8:50 p.m.
