LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE (CNS) - La Cañada Flintridge officials Tuesday announced an increased enforcement effort to combat burglaries in the city.

"In collaboration with the Crescenta Valley (Sheriff's) Station, the City of La Cañada Flintridge will begin stepping up current burglary suppression efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents," the city said in a statement.

"This multi-faceted approach to crime prevention underscores the station and City's commitment to working together with the community to combat crime and ensure apprehension of criminals."
