An overnight home invasion at a multimillion-dollar Beverly Grove mansion jolted a quiet block awake early Saturday, leaving one armed suspect in custody and another still on the loose, according to police.
Officers rushed to the 700 block of North Fuller Avenue around 2:20 a.m. after neighbors reported armed intruders forcing their way into the residence. Investigators were seen interviewing residents at the scene into the morning. It remains unclear whether anything was stolen or if anyone was hurt, and police have not released any suspect descriptions.
According to KTLA, two suspects forced entry into the home. Officers detained one person at the scene, while the second suspect escaped, possibly on foot or in a vehicle, into the surrounding neighborhood. Investigators told the outlet the intruders were armed when they entered the property and that a home-invasion report was taken. Stringer video and photos cited by KTLA showed a heavy police presence outside the large residence.
Investigators Search For Second Suspect
a similar late-night mansion break-in in the Hollywood Hills was recently detailed by Hoodline, a reminder that this Beverly Grove hit is one of several high-value residential burglaries that have rattled Westside neighborhoods. Detectives have long warned that organized crews can move quickly through affluent areas targeting jewelry and watches, and residents say they are increasingly relying on cameras and gated security. Community leaders and police advocates are pushing for more patrols and faster detective follow-up in light of the latest incidents.
Police Request Tips
Per KTLA, the LAPD is asking anyone with information or surveillance footage from around North Fuller Avenue early Saturday to contact investigators as the search continues for the outstanding suspect. Authorities have not released a description of the person who fled, and officers were seen processing the scene into the morning hours. Neighbors told local crews they woke up to sirens and flashing lights, and some said they plan to meet with community policing teams to talk about patrol coverage.
Homeowners in Beverly Grove said the break-in has added urgency to upgrading security systems and sharing footage with neighbors and police. Crime advisers recommend preserving any doorbell or driveway video and reporting suspicious vehicles immediately rather than attempting confrontation. As detectives follow leads, residents are hoping quick tips and camera footage will help bring the second suspect into custody.
