There have been a series of purse snatches in the East Hollywood area over the past week. The susps are targeting females as they enter their vehicles or homes. Bodily force has been used on several of them. The susps are described as two Male Hispanics wearing hoodies.

Please be aware of your surroundings as you leave and return to your vehicles or homes. One way to prevent purse snatching is not to carry a purse, or to carry it in a way that makes it inaccessible, such as wearing it under your coat. Keeping your purse close to your body and your arm over it makes it a little bit harder for someone to grab the purse. If you see any suspicious activity, please contact the police immediately.

If you have any information please contact Northeast Robbery Detectives at (213) 485-2570 or Watch Commander at (213) 485-2563.
