Pacific Palisades Senior Lead officer Brian Espin wrote on December 15 “As you can see our area was very busy last week. If you notice two of the burglaries occurred in the same location. This was because areas of a property were unsecured. Please continue to be vigilant and take the time to check your property and vehicles. Do not leave items laying around. We need to continue to make it harder for these criminals to get our stuff.
“Thank you, Pacific Palisades Community Council for an amazing awards and gala event,” Espin said. “It was great to see and catch-up with everyone and honor the award recipients.”
Senior Lead Officer Brian Espin attended the annual citizen awards hosted by the Pacific Palisades Community Council.
