Below is the weekly crime report from the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station that calls out incidents in WeHo from March 5 to March 11. The list includes each case number. This report lists Part 1 (serious) crimes for the date range shown and is not meant to be a complete list of all serious crimes.
A more comprehensive listing of incidents in West Hollywood usually can be found on Crimemapping.com, which receives information about crimes from local law enforcement agencies and makes that information available to the public. However the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department has decided instead to provide monthly crime reports by service area rather than use Crimemapping, which provides daily updates.
