The Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Burglary Detectives are investigating a series of commercial burglaries along Pico Boulevard that occurred during the month of October 2012 when Wilshire Area experienced five commercial burglaries during the early morning hours. The burglaries occurred between the 4200 to 5500 block of Pico Boulevard. As many as five suspects had entered each business. The suspects took property and money during the burglaries.

Wilshire Burglary Detectives have recovered video surveillance of the burglaries and in one instance captured still photos of one of the suspects, described as a male Black, 20-25 years of age. The photo depicts a unique tattoo along the right side of the suspect’s neck, which appears to be the letter “W” in a cursive script, similar to the logo of the Washington Nationals Baseball Club. Additionally, Wilshire Detectives have determined that the suspects were driving a dark colored 1995-2000 Chevrolet Astro Van.

Wilshire Burglary Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect with the unique tattoo along the side of his neck.
