Police are searching for clues in a burglary that occurred on April 20 at a residence on Highland Avenue, near Olympic Boulevard.

The burglary occurred between 1:45 and 3 p.m. when the homeowner and his wife had left the residence. Police believe the suspect may have entered through a dog door at the rear of the residence. Jewelry and cash valued at more than $40,000 was stolen, according to Det. Louis Lavender, with the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division.

The detective said the residents returned to find the home ransacked and property missing. Among the missing jewelry were watches and a ring, each valued between $2,800 and $10,000. U.S. and European currency valued at $10,500 was also stolen.

Lavender added that the investigation is ongoing, and authorities are processing fingerprint evidence found inside the home. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact investigators with the LAPD Wilshire Division’s burglary unit at (213)922-8252.
