Early-Morning Thefts Leave Cars on Blocks; Residents Coordinate

Los Angeles police are investigating a growing number of wheel thefts reported across Beverly Grove and Hollywood, where thieves have repeatedly targeted parked vehicles in the early morning hours, leaving them propped on concrete blocks. Victims say the crimes are occurring too frequently, and with such similar methods, that many now believe the same suspects are responsible, according to multiple media reports.

The latest incident occurred over the weekend on Edinburgh Avenue near First Street. A Beverly Grove resident, who asked not to be named, said he parked his black pickup truck there Saturday night. By the following morning, two of the truck’s wheels had been stolen.
