Crime alerts for San Pedro and three other L.A. neighborhoods

Crime reports are up significantly for the latest week in four L.A. neighborhoods, according to an analysis of LAPD data by the Los Angeles Times’ Crime L.A. database.

Two neighborhoods reported a significant increase in violent crime. San Pedro (A) was the most unusual, recording 13 reports compared with a weekly average of 3.8 over the last three months.

Valley Village (C) topped the list of two neighborhoods with property crime alerts. It recorded 21 property crimes compared with its weekly average of 15.5 over the last three months.
