Suspects evade LAPD after string burglaries on Ventura Boulevard

Police are searching for four suspects connected to a string of burglaries at businesses along Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley Friday morning.

The burglaries took place between 3:30 and 4 a.m. across three Los Angeles-area neighborhoods.

It was unclear which business was struck first, but police believe the same burglars are responsible for the following break-ins.

Officers spotted the suspect vehicle, described as a black Dodge Durango, driving eastbound on Ventura Boulevard following the burglary at high-end shoe retailer Equivalence and initiated a pursuit.

The erratic driving of the suspect vehicle prompted officers to call off the pursuit after only a few minutes, LAPD Officer Madison said.

It was unclear exactly what was taken from the businesses.
