HOLLYWOOD HILLS—The area of Hollywood Hills has been a target for burglars. As part of the Media Relations Section of the LAPD, Officer Bruce Borihanh says that a press release was issued because the police need as much "solid evidence" they can find and need help with a burglary that occurred in October of 2009.

The incident occurred in the block of Wattles Drive on October 8, at around 3:15 p.m. Two suspects were caught breaking into a Hollywood Hills home with a “pry tool” and successfully doing so, entered a side entrance where they were eventually caught on camera. From the home, they had stolen many plasma screen televisions.

The first suspect is described as a female Hispanic with long brown hair wearing all black- tank top, shorts and sandals. She was about 20 to 30 years old. She also changes into a white shirt later on. Physically, she is described as 5 feet and 5 inches and 125 to 140 pounds.

The second suspect is described as a white or light-skinned male Hispanic. His hair color was unknown and he had a goatee. He was wearing a blue buttoned-down shirt and blue jeans with white tennis shoes and a white hat. He was about 30 to 35 years old. He was around 5 feet and 8 inches to 6 feet and weighed 300 to 350 pounds.
