Homeowners in leafy enclaves hit by burglars zeroing in on high-end homes for smash-and-grab scores

"The safety of every Angeleno is my number one priority. The City has zero tolerance for these recent burglaries," Bass said. "Residents deserve to feel safe in their communities, especially in their homes, and we will continue to deploy the resources necessary to keep people safe."

Now, many of those same tactics are being deployed again.

City leaders have underscored a zero-tolerance approach as pressure builds to stop what some residents describe as crimes happening "night after night."

"There is zero tolerance for what has been happening in the Valley," officials told FOX 11, adding that resources are being increased to apprehend those responsible.

In North Hollywood, neighbors have banded together after a series of break-ins hit homes across the area and surrounding neighborhoods including Sylmar, Valley Village, Valley Glen and Toluca Lake. In one recent case, burglars entered a home through a second-story balcony and stole cash and valuables, according to police.

For some, routine activities have taken on a new purpose, with neighbors turning nightly dog walks into informal neighborhood watch patrols.

"It's just really disturbing, because there's been so many," Gault said.

Others say residents may need to take additional precautions beyond relying solely on law enforcement.

The LAPD says it will maintain an increased presence in the San Fernando Valley as investigators work to identify suspects and determine whether the crimes are linked.

In the meantime, authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, as concerns grow over whether repeated surges in enforcement will be enough to deter what appears to be an ongoing cycle of burglaries in Los Angeles neighborhoods.
