Police Respond to Second Break-In at Sherman Oaks Home
I still can’t get over how unsettling it must be to watch someone walk through your home on a security camera, knowing there’s nothing you can do in that moment. That’s exactly what happened to a Sherman Oaks family late Sunday night, February 23, around 10 p.m. Their home was hit for the second time in just a short span, and this time, the burglars made off with tens of thousands of dollars in purses, jewelry, and other valuables.
