Police are investigating the latest in a series of home invasion robberies that have targeted elderly women in the West Los Angeles area and left many residents nervous.

The most recent crime occurred Tuesday about 4 p.m., when a 96-year-old woman was approached from behind by a man near her home in the 2500 block of Westwood Boulevard, police said.

The attack was the 12th such home invasion robbery in the West Los Angeles area since late May, but it was the first to take place in the afternoon, police said. The other assaults have all occurred in the early morning.

"It hurts me that this man continues to prey on some of the most helpless people in our society," said Deputy Chief Terry Hara, commanding officer of the LAPD's West Bureau. "We're putting additional resources on this case."

The series of attacks has worried residents of the normally quiet area. Some are closely following the news, updating security systems and locking windows at night.

Brandon Behrstock, 42, says he was already focused on security before the attacks, having installed bars in some windows of his house...

Everytime I hear of a “home invasion” on the Westside and up north in places like Woodland, the phrase “Wonderland Murders” comes to mind. Sure this guy wasn’t a friend of Ed Nasrallah, er, Nash?

Californistan is not a RTC state. NO RTC = high crime risk!

"Although the victims primarily have been elderly women, there is no indication of a specific pattern to the man's actions, he said."

This fact apparently is just an aside. The next victim could well be a young, military aged male with a high and tight. Notice that they also fail to describe the attacker though, if he was a 7' tall White guy with shoulder length red hair, speaking with a Galway accent, I think they may have included that.

“A couple in their 60s and their two sons, both in their 20s, reportedly live in the home.”

I sure hope them boys are working or going to college.

I lived on Valerie and went to El Camnio Real.

Sad.

That he only killed one of them.

At least one less Obama voter.

The remaining two, even if illegals convicted, will still be able to vote as registered Democrats.
