Lovely Santa Barbara, the American Riviera. Home to movie stars, beautiful people, perfect weather, and, well, like anywhere in the world these days, jaw droppingly outrageous and diabolically evil crime.
Though we like to fancy ourselves a safe slice of Southern California heaven, bad things do happen in good old Santa Babylon. In fact, very bad things happen here. Very, very, very bad things.
Below you will find links to some of the more disturbing crimes to hit our quaint little seaside hamlet in the past year. We hope it’ll make for some interesting reading this holiday week, a little spice to go with those sugarplums. So enjoy, and don’t forget to lock your doors.
