A recent attempted break-in at a Woodland Hills home was foiled when the residence’s security alarm remained active, despite the thieves deactivating the home security cameras.

The LAPD responded to the incident at about 4 a.m. in the 5600 Block of Collins Avenue in the west San Fernando Valley community after receiving a notification from the security alarm company. According to the LAPD, the alarm company saw three masked men cut wires to multiple cameras at the house.
