Pilates studio owners seek public's help to find repeat vandal

WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The owners of Westwood Pilates Studio is asking for the public's help to find a suspect who repeatedly vandalizes the location at night.

The vandal was caught on camera spray painting the business, throwing rocks and leaving broken bottles near the front entrance.

"It has escalated from graffiti to rocks through the window, so what's going to happen next?" co-owner Pamela Debiase said.

Debiase and the other co-owner, Daniela Escobar, said the situation has been frustrating and frightening. The suspect first attacked the business with graffiti last June and has continued the assault over the last year. The most recent incident happened on Wednesday.

The studio has been vandalized at least 10 times, and four times the owners have had to replace windows.

Other businesses along the stretch of Westwood Boulevard have been targeted as well. Debiase and Escobar have filed numerous police reports and are frustrated that they have not received more help from the LAPD.

They decided to inform their neighborhood council and ask the public for help. Escobar and Debiase hope the suspect is caught before another incident happens.

Anyone with information is urged to call authorities at (877) LAPD-247.
