A string of overnight break-ins at small businesses in Westwood has left owners on edge, forcing them to work together to help police track down the suspects.
Could a distinct graphic on a hoodie be the answer? One owner thinks it might.
One of the businesses was Mashti Malone's Ice Cream, which sits along Westwood Avenue and was hit around 2:30 a.m. The brazen smash-and-grab was all caught on camera. "Police called me around 4:30 a.m.," said Shirvani. "I thought something like a fire when they said they were calling from the police department. The last thing I could think of is someone breaking into the ice cream store."Another Westwood Boulevard business that was targeted was The Room Sushi Bar. Owner Kiat Soon said this isn't the first time it's happened.
In surveillance video from Laziz Grill, the suspect in that footage appears to have on the same hoodie.
