4 sought in San Fernando Valley pharmacy burglaries – NBC Los Angeles
The LAPD is looking for four men they believe are connected to break-ins at four San Fernando Valley pharmacies early Friday morning.
Each burglary took place along a 6-mile stretch of Ventura Boulevard between Woodland Hills and Encino between 3:30 a.m. and 6 a.m.
The first took place at the pharmacy inside the Southern California Medical Center in Woodland Hills, where the thieves got away with cash and two safes, but no medication.
Later at 4:30 a.m., police said the men hit a pharmacy in Tarzana by breaking through a back door.
It’s unclear what they stole from the store, but the owner was watching on surveillance cameras from home and called police.
This is when officers learned there were four men involved riding around in a gray or blue Dodge Durango SUV.
By 5:30 a.m., the men hit a third store — the Encino Care Pharmacy — where the owner was also watching the break-in from home and alerted authorities.
This time, officers were able to spot the Durango and began pursuing the SUV, only to lose the vehicle minutes later.
That’s when the men stopped by the fourth and final pharmacy of the morning — the Encino Center Pharmacy, but their visit lasted less than two minutes.
Surveillance video shows the men breaking in through the front door, but begin to run back to the SUV as officers approach the store, where alarms were going off.
The men took off with officers close behind, but they were unable to make a stop. Detectives are investigating how much cash and other items, such as medication, was stolen from each store.
Anyone with information is being asked to call the LAPD.

‘Old Glory’ oak tree in Stevenson Ranch named historic landmark – NBC Los Angeles
An old oak tree rooted in controversy was assigned a historical landmark on Tuesday following a unanimous vote from the LA County Board of Supervisors.
Developers in 2002 were poised to knock down the oak tree “Old Glory” to make way for a subdivision in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The tree was eventually saved with the help of efforts from one man.
Environmental activist John Quigley spent 71 days on a wooden platform in the tree in protest of the city’s removal plan. Quigley would soon learn not everyone agreed with him.
“The windstorms, all the threats, the gunshots, the exploding mailboxes,” said Quigley.
When asked if it was worth it, Quigley’s response was “absolutely.”
A compromise was met and the tree was carefully removed from its original location and then replanted at its current home at Pico Canyon Park.
After 22 years since Quigley climbed the tree, Old Glory has become an LA County Historic Landmark, giving it protection from ever being targeted again.
“That tree is an incredible teacher, and I think will continue to teach now, with this landmark status,” said Quigley. “Never underestimate the power of one person to create a sea of change in society.”
Arborists believe the tree’s life dates back to the 1600s.
