Following a dip in follow-home robberies in March, there has been a considerable uptick in April, police reported last week.
Investigators believe three armed suspects followed their victims home from a Beverly Hills restaurant and then robbed them at gunpoint in the early morning hours Wednesday.
The four victims had dined at a Beverly Hills restaurant and had arrived at a home they were renting in Beverly Crest when the armed robbery occurred, police said. They then stole about $70,000 worth of cash, jewelry and designer clothes, including a watch valued at about $40,000, police said. "They did take precautions, they did notice a car behind them as they're coming up the canyon to this residence," LAPD Det. Chris Marsden told reporters."They decided to pass the house they're staying in, make a U-turn, and make sure nobody was following them, which is what we recommend. However, in this case, they were still followed."
