Police are warning women in the Studio City area of a man involved in what officers describe as “suspicious behavior.”
Several social media reports of a middle-aged man asking women for help moving boxes into his vehicle have been flagged to the Los Angeles Police Department, it said in a statement on Friday. The department described the behavior as a “scam” and warned women to call police if they come into contact with him.
A detailed description of the man in question was not provided.
“Trust your instincts and remove yourself from situations that feel uncomfortable,” LAPD said in a statement. “Stay cautious of unsolicited approaches—scammers and predators often appear friendly, helpful, or overly urgent. Never feel pressured to make quick decisions, and always remain alert.”
LAPD added that detectives are investigating the matter and have met with women who’ve been targeted by the man.
Anyone else who believes they’ve been targeted is asked to contact LAPD’s North Hollywood Division at 818-754-8300.
