On Thursday, January 22, 2015, at 10:10 am, Marina del Rey Station deputies responded to a burglary alarm call at a residence in the 6700 block of Bedford Avenue in Lower Ladera Heights. Upon arrival deputies detained two juvenile subjects near the residence. After further investigation, deputies determined the subjects had broken into the residence via a rear patio window. Deputies also discovered pry marks around the window frame and later learned that an electrical breaker panel had been switched off. The subjects did not make entry into the main residence and fled, possibly due to the audible burglary alarm. Evidence was recovered on one subject’s person, linking him to the crime. Both subjects admitted being associated with each other and neither had a valid reason for being in the area or absent from the school they attend. One subject lied about his identity, which was discovered when he was booked and fingerprinted at the station. This subject is currently on probation for burglary and trespassing from other cases. Both subjects were transported to Los Padrinos juvenile hall and released to the Probation Department. Any residents who witnessed this incident and have information to assist in the investigation, should contact Detective Eric Matias at (310) 482-6026.
