Two RVs in LW lot burglarized

CRIME

Two recreational vehicles parked in the RV Lot were burglarized earlier this month. In response to the thefts, Seal Beach police will install a camera in the lot, according to GRF Security Director Victor Rocha.

On March 13, an RV owner reported that an unknown suspect broke into her RV, which was parked in the RV Lot, and stole an estimated $100 worth of clothing, according to a GRF Security report.

According to the report, the suspect or suspects entered the RV through the left rear windows. They opened all the cupboards and drawers in the RV, removed items from them and left them on the dining table, dining seating and bed, according to the report.

A unknown person’s cell phone was left in the RV. The Seal Beach Police Department took possession of the phone for its investigation.

The RV owner reported that two men’s flannel shirts and two pairs of men’s shorts were missing, valued at $100 total. The owner did not report any damage to the vehicle.

In the second burglary, which was reported at 11 a.m. on March 17, an unknown person gained entry to an RV by forcing in the vehicle’s door. The RV owner reported that a metal detector and a duffle bag with a rifle in it were stolen, valued at $6,000. Seal Beach police are investigating the incident.

Police will work with the GRF IT Department to discuss the best placement for a surveillance camera in the lot. Police said that, although the camera does have the ability to view the full lot, there will be blind spots due to the location of some larger RVs.
