Woman sexually assaulted in burglaries in East Hollywood and Silver Lake | Silver Lake News

A woman was sexually assaulted in one of several homes burglarized early Saturday in East Hollywood and Silver Lake, police said.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Northeast Area Detectives determined that the home burglaries were caught in the act – they occur when the homes are occupied – and occurred early Saturday morning.

However, the department did not provide any information on the suspect, the number of break-ins or the street locations. It was unclear what was stolen. The Eastsider is seeking more details.

Residents were asked to turn on all outside lights, lock all windows and doors, and be alert for suspicious people and vehicles. They urged witnesses to report any suspicious activity by calling 9-1-1.

The LAPD also asked other potential home burglary victims and anyone with information about the crimes to call Detective Bridges at 323-561-3465 or 877-LAPD during after-hours or on weekends. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
