Westlake Village seniors targeted in burglary followed by credit card fraud

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is searching for individuals who broke into a senior living facility in Westlake Village and subsequently used stolen credit cards at multiple retail locations.

According to the sheriff's department, the burglary occurred on June 3, 2026, at Ridge Senior Living on Cedar Valley Drive near the Lindero Canyon exit of the 101 Freeway. Investigators said the suspects entered a locked room belonging to a resident and took a driver's license, cash, jewelry, and credit cards.

On the same day as the break-in, the suspects used the stolen cards to make purchases at KAY Jewelers inside the Pacific View mall in Ventura. Surveillance footage from the store showed the suspects exiting the building and getting into a white Toyota Camry.

The following day, unauthorized transactions were recorded at Apple and Zales Jewelers within the Northridge Fashion Center. LASD reported that the suspects left the Northridge location in a red Dodge Durango.

Authorities have released images of the suspects and are asking the public for information.
