Electronics Stolen From Unlocked Cars

Expensive electronics were stolen from two vehicles during a minor spree of thefts from unlocked cars Thursday night and Friday morning.

Residents on the 5700 block of North Santa Monica Boulevard reported a suspicious man attempting to enter vehicles at 2:40 a.m. Friday. All squads reported to the area but were unable to locate him. He was last seen running northbound on foot.

Three blocks north, a laptop was stolen from another unlocked vehicle in the 6100 block of North Kent Avenue. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between 6:30 p.m. Thursday and 5:30 a.m. Friday.
