February 7, 2012 4:48AM 2000 Block 236th Place (Cabrillo) West of Sur La Brea Park
Suspect(s) entered unlocked vehicle and took property/purse, case CD's, apron, box cutter and cash.
During this reporting period, there were eleven auto burglaries in Torrance. More than half of the
vehicles were unlocked.
Torrance Police offer the following advice:
To avoid becoming a victim of an auto theft; always make sure that your vehicle doors are locked when your vehicle is parked. To lessen your chances of becoming a victim of a burglary, know that there are two basic criteria that vehicle burglars look for prior to committing a theft. First, they want a good "score." In other words, they want to steal money or steal an object that they can easily sell. Second, they want the easiest target with the lowest risk. For example, a purse that has been left on the front seat of a car is an easy target that a thief can quickly steal. The majority of vehicle burglaries that occur in Torrance and the rest of the South Bay, are the result of a purse, wallet, laptop computer, or other valuable item left in plain view on the seat of a vehicle.
