Gunman Robs Victim in Apartment Building Garage

Residents are on edge and police on alert after a man robbed a person at gunpoint in the parking garage of a Sherman Oaks apartment building.

Los Angeles police Detective Ronald Carter  of the Van Nuys Division said a gunman approached the victim inside the parking garage of a building in the 4700 block of Sepulveda Boulevard on Tuesday morning, and made off with money and jewelry.

“It's scary,” said Jack, a neighbor who declined to give his last name. “This is usually a safe neighborhood.”

The gunman was described as a black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt, with a bandanna covering his face, according to police.

Carter confirmed the robbery is consistent with other parking garage robberies committed Monday night in Northridge, Van Nuys and North Hollywood.

None of the victims in the robberies was reported injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD at 877-275-5273.
