Crime Cluster: Sunset & Glendale

From Northeast LAPD:

Echo Park: We have a cluster of property crimes this week in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Glendale Boulevard. We requested support from Operations-Central Bureau two weeks ago and they deployed their Special Problems Unit (SPU) into Northeast Area to work property crimes in Echo Park, Silver Lake and Los Feliz. They have teamed up with our SPU and have been running multiple tactical operations in these neighborhoods (i.e., sting/bait-car operations). They have made many arrests for BTFV [burglary/theft from vehicle] and burglary in these areas.
