Crime reports are up significantly for the latest week in 12 L.A. neighborhoods, according to an analysis of LAPD data by the Los Angeles Times’ Crime L.A. database.

Four neighborhoods reported a significant increase in violent crime. Mar Vista (A) was the most unusual, recording five reports compared with a weekly average of 0.5 over the last three months.

Eagle Rock (B) topped the list of 10 neighborhoods with property crime alerts. It recorded 23 property crimes compared with its weekly average of 8.8 over the last three months.
