LOS ANGELES – Another Encino home gets sacked by a burglar or burglars overnight.
That makes it at least 13 homes in this one particular area hit over the last few weeks.
Police are investigating if it’s the same burglars or different crews of burglars that just keep on coming back.

The most recent burglary happened Monday night in the hills south of the Boulevard in Encino around 10:30 p.m.
The residents were not home at the time when they got an alert that their alarms were going off – a burglar or burglars breaking in through the back glass sliding door, busting it open and then ransacking the house, especially the master bedroom, getting away with basically anything and everything that they could carry.

By the time the armed guards and police arrived, they were long gone. A suspect description was not released.
FOX 11 was here in Encino at another home burglary Monday, and yesterday the count was up to just over a dozen and now it is up again.
According to police, what makes this particularly challenging is that the suspects move very quickly. They’re wearing masks, they’re wearing hoodies, they’re wearing gloves.
And when they do have a visible getaway car, it has no license plates or the plates are covered up. A lot of them are using stolen cars, police said.

It’s unclear why homes are being targeted in this area.
Homes that have been hit include empty ones, others that are occupied, some with alarms that go off, and others that don’t.
