LOS ANGELES—Due to a recent increase in violent street robberies, including a number of follow-home crimes, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on July 18 urged people to be aware of their surroundings—and to call 911 if they feel they are being followed.
“Victims have been followed from such places [as] Melrose Avenue, the Jewelry District of Los Angeles, nightclubs and high-end restaurants,” the LAPD said in a community alert notification.
