As the holidays approach, the Los Alamitos Police Department would like to remind you that criminals view the holidays as an increased opportunity to commit crime. They target victims who may be distracted by the busy season, and seize opportunities to burglarize homes for cash, credit cards, and gifts. Please be extra vigilant and immediately report anything suspicious to the police. Even if it turns out to be nothing, we appreciate the opportunity to check it out…it is never an imposition!
