Law enforcement in the Los Angeles area have reported a series of crimes ranging from robberies to burglaries that have put residents on high alert. A suspect, Hardy Arriaza, was arrested in connection with a string of assaults and burglaries in the San Fernando Valley. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) is seeking information on similar incidents involving Arriaza in West Hollywood. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is looking for additional victims of a suspected burglar targeting women, particularly an elderly woman's home in Reseda. In separate incidents, armed gunmen stormed a convenience store near Disneyland, and masked suspects ransacked a Pico-Union bakery while employees were inside, with surveillance cameras capturing the events. A West Covina police sergeant interrupted a holdup at a 7-Eleven, leading to the arrest of the suspect on multiple charges. The Orange County District Attorney, Spitzer, described a burglary suspect who disguised himself as a home security employee to target the elderly as 'despicable'.
