LAPD Investigates Woodland Hills Home Invasion Involving Up to Seven Masked Suspects

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a home invasion in Woodland Hills involving as many as seven masked suspects, with the investigation leading to multiple arrests following a police operation at a North Hollywood residence.

According to LAPD, the incident occurred around 5 a.m. Thursday at a home in the 22900 block of Calvert Street. Investigators say up to seven men entered the property through a back door. The suspects were reportedly wearing masks and gloves and left the scene in two separate vehicles before officers arrived.

Surveillance footage from the property captured the suspects rushing out of the home carrying a bag believed to contain stolen belongings.

Investigation Leads to North Hollywood Police Raid

The investigation prompted LAPD's Homicide Division to enlist assistance from the department's Metropolitan Division SWAT team and Gang and Narcotics Division detectives.

Authorities eventually executed a search warrant at a residence on Kling Street in North Hollywood. The operation took place around 1:30 a.m., when police and SWAT personnel surrounded the property. Video from the scene showed at least three individuals being detained.

Although initial reports from the neighborhood raised questions about a possible kidnapping, LAPD later clarified that no kidnapping had occurred.

Police have not released additional details about the individuals detained or confirmed the specific connection between the North Hollywood operation and the Woodland Hills home invasion.

Fortunately, authorities reported that nobody was injured during Thursday's incident.

Residents Concerned About Rising Property Crime

The incident has added to growing concerns about residential burglaries and home invasions throughout the San Fernando Valley.

Neighbors told local reporters that the property involved in Thursday's incident was being used as a short-term rental. Longtime residents expressed frustration over the continued reports of criminal activity in their communities.

The Woodland Hills incident also follows several other serious home invasions reported in the Valley throughout 2025.

In March, a family was reportedly zip-tied and forced into a closet during a home invasion on MacFarlane Drive. The following month, three men were charged with murder after allegedly breaking into a residence on De La Osa Street near Topanga Canyon Boulevard and killing a man inside.

Investigation Remains Ongoing

While the North Hollywood police operation resulted in multiple detentions, LAPD has not yet provided further information about potential charges or the identities of those involved.

Investigators continue working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the Woodland Hills home invasion and the relationship between the suspects and the subsequent arrests.

The case highlights the ongoing challenges facing residential communities across the San Fernando Valley as authorities investigate a series of increasingly concerning property crimes.
