   A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Major Crimes Bureau official   
   said Wednesday there is little information that can yet be released on the   
   April 10 burglaries in which 10 businesses fell victim to smash-and-grabs   
   — however, he said, the earlier Feb. 17 string of smash-and-grabs   
   investigation is moving in a good direction.   
      
   Lt. Derek White, spokesman for LASD Major Crimes Bureau, said that   
   detectives with the Organized Retail Crime Task Force have been actively   
   investigating the incidents with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s   
   Station.   
      
   “We are working closely with Santa Clarita on a lot of these cases,” said   
   White.   
      
   He said that the string of burglaries done in a smash-and-grab style in   
   February had active leads and they were waiting for some information to   
   get back to the task force and once it is verified it will possibly lead   
   them to some suspects.   
      
   Initially on Feb. 17, Watch Deputy Nicholas Hoslet, spokesman for the SCV   
   Sheriff’s Station, said the station could not confirm whether the   
   burglaries were connected to each other and no arrests had been made.   
      
   White said that the task force believes the same crew hit the 11   
   restaurants.   
      
   However, he added that the February crew is not suspected of being the   
   crew that did the April 10 burglaries, despite the smash and grabs being   
   done in a similar style.   
      
   “In regard to the ones that just happened in the Bouquet Plaza, we don’t   
   believe they are the same suspects. We don’t believe they are related but   
   they did have a similar MO (style), which was concerning to us, but as of   
   now we do not believe they are the same suspects,” said White.   
      
   He added that it was reported several suspects were wearing gloves and   
   masks and shattered the front door and stole property at each location and   
   then left in a stolen Hyundai and dumped the car later.   
      
   “As of now we don’t have anything workable, but we are still actively   
   working the case,” said White.
