With burglaries, break-ins and home invasion robberies on the rise in Southern California, some residents are now "blurring" out their homes in the street-view function on Google Maps.
A knife-wielding intruder attacked and robbed a pregnant woman during a terrifying home invasion that was captured on surveillance video.
Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell held his first press conference on Wednesday. It was to announce "significant" arrests in what he calls a "recent surge" in home invasions and commercial burglaries and robberies. A few of the people arrested are just 17 years old.
She told investigators she decided used deadly force to protect her and her disabled son, saying it was "now or never."
Four people, including a postal worker, were killed in a midday stabbing spree that officials call a "heinous crime." One young woman was injured while escaping a home invasion, and her rescuer was stabbed as well.
