LOS ANGELES—The Grove, a mall known for high-end shopping and dining in Los Angeles, added a coil wire fence to enhance security after a spree of smash-and-grab robberies in California amid the holiday season.

After being targeted by a burglary last month, the shopping center installed wire fencing at its entrances and exits, and all of its stores have their windows coated with a special ballistic film, which provides comprehensive protection against break-ins and burglaries.
