RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA — Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives on Tuesday are asking the public's help in identifying two persons of interest in Saturday's residential burglary in Rancho Palos Verdes.

The burglary happened between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday in the 30600 block Palos Verdes Drive East, said Capt. Dan Beringer of the Lomita Sheriff's Station.

A woman was captured on surveillance video knocking on doors of residences in the area where the break-in occurred. Another person was seen waiting nearby in a blue Nissan Altima with paper dealer plates from Gardena Nissan, he said.

Deputies responded to residents' calls about suspicious individuals in the area, but none were found.

"This method of operation is similar to 'Knock Knock Series Burglaries,' we have experienced throughout Southern California," Beringer said.

The woman was described as black, between 20 to 25 years of age with long dark hair, wearing a black shirt, black zip-up jacket, black yoga type pants and black flip flops.

Anyone with information about this incident was asked to contact Detective Duckworth of the Lomita Sheriff’s Station at (310) 891-3213.
