A Reminder from the VG Safety Committee
At a recent Village Green Safety Committee meeting, LAPD reported on “Crimes of Opportunity” in the area surrounding the Green. Officers described how criminals move through an environment without a specific planned target, but test for opportunities for easy access, like unlocked car doors, windows, and garages.
Officer Norris of Green Knight Security reported similar incidents where potential criminals wander through the Green seeking to steal from cars, patios, and units. In several incidents, unlocked cars or open windows allowed access to the victim’s property.
Our community includes open access points, multiple paths to wander through without attracting suspicion, and a garden that may encourage a misleading sense of security among residents.
So be aware, be vigilant, lock it up, and keep your porch lights on at night!
