(December 27, 2019) -- LBREPORT.com has learned that within recent weeks, burglars have broken into at least three ELB busineses -- hitting at least one and perhaps two of them twice in the overnight hours within about a week -- in the Clark/Spring commercial center (SE quadrant). On Friday Dec. 27 in the 3 a.m. hour, the perpetrators smashed the glass front foors of the COPA Coffee Parlor and the Baja Sonora resturant. Both businesses suffered losses.
COPA Coffee Parlor stated on its Facebook page: [Scroll down for further.] |
We are still open!
LBREPORT.com is also informed that a few weeks earlier another business in the same commercial center was hit by a burglary (details not immediately available.)
LBPD crime stats indicate that in the 11 months from January-November 2019, the area bounded by Spring St./Willow St. and Clark Ave./Bellfower Blvd. -- which has commercial businesses at all four of its major corners -- had 2 reported commercial burglaries (one in May, one in January.) It's not immediately clear if the 5 commercial burglaries we're reporting here are the only ones in December but for now we presume the area had at least 7 reported commercial burglaries in 2019. In prior 12 month periods, LBPD crime stats indicate reported commercial burglaries below. Caveat: the Clark/Spring commercial center was undergoing major renovations for part of the 2017/2018 period. (Baja Sonora served its customers out of food trucks at the site.) The then-ongoing renovations preclude direct annual comparisons during this period. 2018 = 2
Both of the burglarized businesses were open (and many customers) within hours of getting hit. LBREPORT.com encourages our readers to patronize them in a show of support for their owners and employees.
