Police are investigating four residential burglaries that occurred within roughly 24 hours across Sherman Oaks and Hollywood Hills, affecting neighborhoods from Davana Terrace to Macapa Drive.
Sherman Oaks residents are on edge after a home on Davana Terrace was hit twice in two nights, part of a wider pattern of burglaries sweeping across the San Fernando Valley.
Police are investigating four residential break-ins that occurred within roughly 24 hours over the weekend, affecting neighborhoods from Sherman Oaks to the Hollywood Hills.
The pattern has left neighbors reviewing security footage and wondering if they are part of an organized operation.
One home on Davana Terrace in Sherman Oaks was burglarized Friday, then hit again Saturday night after a suspect smashed a window to get inside, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Investigators say the back-to-back break-ins are part of a wider cluster they are reviewing.
Neighbors are now asking questions about what might be driving the rapid succession of crimes.
Another incident unfolded around 9:30 p.m. Saturday on Macapa Drive in the Hollywood Hills.
Residents came home while the burglary was still in progress, and one person who confronted a suspect suffered minor injuries, police said.
Two men reportedly escaped from that scene with roughly $100,000 in jewelry.
About 1 a.m. that same night, a separate home on Sylmar Avenue in Sherman Oaks was also targeted while no one was inside, according to detectives.
Police have not yet determined whether the burglary cases are linked, and the investigation now centers on identifying several suspected burglars believed to be involved.
The latest cases fit an unsettling pattern that Valley residents have seen before.
NBC Los Angeles previously reported a series of multiple overnight break-ins within hours across the San Fernando Valley late last year, which left neighborhoods scrambling to upgrade security.
Law enforcement has, in earlier cases, tied high-value residential burglaries to organized crews targeting affluent pockets of the region.
A 2025 operation led to arrests in a group suspected of nearly 100 break-ins, according to the Associated Press.
Detectives have not publicly linked this weekend's incidents to any specific crew but are treating the spree seriously.
Anyone with information, security footage, or doorbell video related to the recent burglaries is urged to contact the LAPD Van Nuys Community Police Station.
The station directory lists the detective desk at 818-374-0040, the front desk at 818-374-9500, and a non-emergency line at 877-ASK-LAPD.
Tipsters who want to remain anonymous can call LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
Detectives have not released suspect descriptions and are asking neighbors to review any camera footage and report suspicious activity.
