LOS ANGELES — Organized theft rings from Northern California are targeting the vehicles of tourists and other visitors at Los Angeles’ Griffith Park, the sprawling urban wilderness that is home to some of the city’s most famous attractions.
Thieves break into vehicles, particularly rental cars, in the most popular areas of the park and take off with valuables in seconds, Los Angeles police officials told a press conference Tuesday in front of the iconic triple-domed Griffith Observatory. “Car thieves target property left in plain sight such as luggage, purses, electronics, laptops, tablets, expensive sunglasses, even passports,” said Capt. Gary Walters, commanding officer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s northeast area patrol.
The mountainous park sprawls over more than 4,200 acres in the middle of the city. In addition to the observatory, it is home to the Hollywood sign, the Greek Theatre, the LA Zoo, the Autry Museum of the American West, the Travel Town railroad museum and the LA Equestrian Center. Daily visitors include hikers, joggers and bicyclists.
