Crime spree could have been prevented


It was deeply disturbing to me when I discovered that recently there had been shootings and burglaries in Malibu Canyon, the place where I grew up and where my family currently lives.

Malibu Canyon has always been a very safe and family friendly area to all of the surrounding communities; therefore, these shootings and burglaries seemed very unlikely and have caught everyone off guard.

The deputies at the Lost Hills Sheriff Station need to be more careful and vigil and about guarding the Malibu Canyon area because it is very populated and well-known. We do not want anyone else to be harmed by these continuous shootings and burglaries.

By placing more police officers around the area of Malibu Canyon and training the park rangers more properly to patrol the area will help eliminate these crimes and keep the community safe.

More security around this area will allow families to be able to hang out there without constantly worrying about their safety. Having more security with police officers and training the rangers in the Malibu Canyon area will help ensure the well-being of the overall community and lead to the finding of the suspect responsible for these frightful scandals.
