Crime reports are up significantly for the latest week in 11 L.A. neighborhoods, according to an analysis of LAPD data by the Los Angeles Times’ Crime L.A. database.

Seven neighborhoods reported a significant increase in violent crime. Winnetka (A) was the most unusual, recording seven reports compared with a weekly average of 2.2 over the last three months.

Fairfax (F) topped the list of six neighborhoods with property crime alerts. It recorded 20 property crimes compared with its weekly average of 12.6 over the last three months.

Two neighborhoods triggered alerts for both violent and property crime.
