Detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying a commercial burglary suspect who stole thousands of dollars in equipment and cash from a local dentist’s office last month in Calabasas.
The break-in occurred on April 17 at Dentique Dental Lounge, located in the 5700 block of Las Virgenes Road.
The suspect, who had disguised themselves with a scarf over their head and face, shattered a window at the dentist’s office, entered the facility and shortly after without taking any property, according to a bulletin from LASD.

Later that day, though, the suspect returned and reentered the office through the shattered window, disabled the business’s security cameras and began looting the establishment.
The victim told the sheriff’s department that $2,400 in cash, dental tools, an x-ray machine and computer tablet were stolen, the bulletin noted.
Anyone with information about this burglary or who may recognize the suspect is urged to contact LASD’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station at 818-878-1808.
