Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a burglary call on Thursday night in the 6800 block of Northford Drive, a residential street in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles. According to the department, the incident occurred at approximately 9 p.m.

Method of entry

Investigators say the perpetrators first accessed the home’s breaker box and turned off the electricity, effectively plunging the house into darkness. After disabling the power, the suspects broke a window to gain entry.

Items taken

Police recovered a single item: a belt estimated to be worth about $1,000. The belt was the only reported loss; no other personal belongings were listed as missing.

Victim status and response

It has not been confirmed whether anyone was present in the home at the time of the break‑in. The LAPD reported that no injuries were sustained during the incident.

Investigation

The department has not released a description of the suspects, and no arrests have been made as of early Friday morning. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from the area and are asking anyone with information to contact the LAPD.

Community impact

Crimes of this nature are relatively uncommon in the Tujunga area, which is generally considered a quiet, family‑oriented community. Residents are being reminded to secure their homes, keep exterior lighting functional, and consider additional safety measures such as alarm systems.

Police advice

LAPD spokespersons emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious activity promptly. They also encouraged neighbors to look out for one another, especially after dark, and to report any unfamiliar individuals or vehicles near their homes.

The investigation remains ongoing. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
