Six businesses were broken into leaving employees to find the mess when arriving to work. The LAPD is hoping that the arrests will temporarily reduce the number of burglaries in the area. Ted Chen reports for the NBC4 News on Feb. 27, 2024.
Two people were arrested in a series of break-ins early Monday at a shopping center in Marina Del Rey.
Security camera video from inside Nick the Greek shows one of the burglars break a window at about 1 a.m. to enter the restaurant in the Los Angeles County seaside community. The burglar took cash from a register as another burglar targeted other businesses.
Five other burglaries were reported early Tuesday morning in the same area, including at Juice Crafters and Ulta
Beauty.
A witness said he saw a break-in in progress at the Ulta store, then caught one of the burglars. The man said he held the thief until police arrived.
