Heartless thieves have snatched critical building materials and copper wire from recovering Palisades residents in recent weeks, according to an LAPD email sent last week to Palisades residents. A senior lead officer in The Palisades advised residents of a surge in crime targeting building sites, urging them to take measures to suppress such thefts, in an email obtained by The California Post. At least 8 such crimes have happened this month, targeting construction tools, materials, and copper wiring from the vacant or in-construction lots, the officer, Brian Espin, said.
