Eagle Rock Logs 34 Auto-Related Crimes in January

As many as 15 vehicles were stolen and 19 burglarized, underlying LAPD Capt. Bill Murphy's concerns about vehicle thefts and burglaries.

In his New Year crime webcast this past Saturday, Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Bill Murphy stressed that while violent crime in Northeast L.A. was down by 46 percent in January, compared to December, auto-related crime remains the area’s Number One problem, accounting for 50 percent to 55 percent of all crime last month.

According to CrimeMapping.com, the nationwide crime database to which the LAPD regularly contributes statistics, 15 vehicles were stolen in Eagle Rock in January and 19 were burglarized—an approximate average of more than one auto-related crime per day.
